Biden campaign sends De Niro to Trump trial to put focus on 2021 Capitol attack
President Joe Biden’s campaign showed up outside former president Donald Trump’s New York City criminal hush money trial with actor Robert De Niro and two former police officers in an effort to refocus the presidential race on the January 6 2021 US Capitol insurrection.
It was a sharp about-face for Mr Biden’s team, which had largely ignored the trial since it began six weeks ago and is now looking to capitalise on its drama-filled closing moments, sending the Goodfellas actor and the first responders who were at the Capitol on January 6.
