1. SOUNDBITE (English) Jason Miller, Trump advisor:
"After months of saying the politics had nothing to do with this trial, they showed up and made a campaign event out of a lower Manhattan trial day for President Trump. In fact, Biden’s cronies had a printed out campaign sign saying Biden, Harris. So why the change? Why is Joe Biden now making this a campaign event? After months of weaponizing the legal system against President Trump because Joe Biden’s numbers are in the tank."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Jason Miller, Trump advisor:
"And the best that Biden can do is roll out a washed up actor. And don’t worry, my remarks will be shorter than ‘The Irishman.’ I won’t make you suffer for three hours. But the best they can do is roll out a washed up actor."
STORYLINE:
Donald Trump advisor Jason Miller says the Biden campaign’s press conference outside the former president’s criminal hush money trial is an effort to refocus the presidential race on the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection.
"Why is Joe Biden now making this a campaign event? Miller said. "After months of weaponizing the legal system against President Trump because Joe Biden’s numbers are in the tank."
It was a sharp about-face for Biden’s team, which had largely ignored the trial since it began six weeks ago and is now looking to capitalize on its drama-filled closing moments, sending actor Robert De Niro and some of the first responders who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
A top Biden advisor said they weren’t there to talk about the trial, rather to exploit the large media focus on the legal proceedings.
