Watch as Karine Jean-Pierre holds White House briefing as Trump is expected to be indicted

Karine Jean-Pierre held Monday’s White House briefing on the week Donald Trump is expected to be indicted for the third time this year.

The former US president has been investigated over his attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 US presidential election and his role in the ensuing Capitol riot of 6 January 2021.

In a Truth Social rant on Sunday night, Mr Trump lashed out at special counsel Jack Smith and Attorney General Merrick Garland baselessly claiming that the investigations are a “coordinated Hoax” and a ploy to “steal another election”.

Joe Biden’s schedule this week is expected to be focused on spending cuts and will also honour Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by signing a proclamation to establish a national monument on the day that would have marked the 82nd birthday of the Black teenager murdered in 1955.

A White House official told The Associated Press that the monument will span three sites in Illinois, where Till grew up, and Mississippi, where he was killed.
