Biden has yet to comment on the raid, which was the first of its kind in history involving a former sitting president. Republicans have accused Biden of weaponizing the Department of Justice against his predecessor, who appears likely to run against the president again in 2024.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing that the president had no prior knowledge of the raid and only learned of it in news reports along with the rest of the country. She has also sought to debunk allegations by Republicans that the raid, which occurred just three months out from the midterm elections, was politically motivated.
