There is a crib in President Joe Biden’s White House. In the family house upstairs, one is prepared for the youngest grandsonn the president, Beau Biden Jr. He was born last year and is the son of Hunter Biden, brother of Beau Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015 when he was 45 years old.
The mention of the crib appeared in an interview the president had with the magazine People, in which he said the Senate should judge the former president Donald Trump because the House of Representatives subjected him to impeachment for the attack on the Capitol that killed five people.
‘If not, it’s a mockery of the system’Biden said in his first interview with the White House since his inauguration on Jan. 20.
Biden doubts enough Republicans – it takes at least 17 – join the Democrats to declare Trump guilty of inciting his followers to storm the Capitol on January 6 in an effort to avoid certification of the Democrat’s election victory.
Biden, himself a former senator, has not said whether the senate should declare Trump guilty, but said in the interview that “I have no aspirations for revenge.”
“My job is to try to heal the country and get aheadbecause I think we as a country have so many opportunities, ” he said in early interview excerpts Wednesday.
He reiterated his promise that no member of his family will work in his government.
“We will treat this like the Obama and Biden administration,” he said. None of our family or our extended family participate in government or foreign policy activities. Besides, no one in this house has an office. ”
Biden made that promise during the 2020 presidential campaign, when Trump and other Republicans tried to introduce Hunter Biden’s overseas operations as an electoral issue. He tried to differentiate himself from Trump, whose daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner were high-ranking advisers to his administration.
Biden was a Delaware state senator for 36 years. Obama, senator from Illinois and Biden they were elected president and vice president respectively in 2008.
In the interview, Biden recounted an anecdote of when he rejected the advice of an accountant who told him he could charge the Senate for compensation for some of the gas he spent on the family car.
Biden said his response at the counter was, “This is how I see it: the free-throw line is 5 meters from the basket. Never let me get closer than 5 meters, because it’s about people’s trust. ”
“And we need to rebuild that trust in the government,” said Jill Biden, who accompanied her husband in the interview for the February 15 issue, which will be on newsstands Friday, days before the start of her trial. Trump in the Senate.
