President Joe Biden is paying little attention to the arraignment of his predecessor Donald Trump in New York on criminal charges, the White House says.

“Obviously he will catch part of the news when he has a moment to catch up on news of the day but this is not a focus for him,” Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says.

The sole public event on Biden’s schedule today is a meeting with advisers on emerging artificial intelligence technology.
