Unity: Jen Psaki Says Biden Will Let Congress Decide on Impeachment Trial

Joel B. Pollak 20 Jan 2021

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki declined to say Wednesday whether President Joe Biden wanted the Senate to hold a trial to determine if President Donald Trump should be barred from federal office, following his impeachment last week.

She also gave no indication that President Biden would urge Congress not to hold a trial, for the sake of national unity.

Psaki answered reporters’ questions during her first White House briefing. Peter Doocy of Fox News asked her: “So, if President Biden wants a theme of his presidency to be unifying the country, does he think that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer should drop a potentially divisive Senate impeachment trial?”

Psaki said that the Senate could “multitask” and “do their constitutional duty,” adding that Biden would “leave the mechanics, the timing, and the specifics of how Congress moves forward on impeachment to them.”

Later, she was asked by Zeke Miller of the Associated Press whether the newly-inaugurated president believed “that President Trump needs to be held accountable for the Capitol insurrection,” and if so, whether Biden believed Trump should be barred from public office as the result of a conviction in the Senate.
