#shorts On 6/12/2023, a reporter asked NSC Spox John Kirby, “I should like first to take one more stab at getting you to say something substantive about the Trump case.

Reporter: That’s so prejudicial.

MR. KIRBY: But I also want to be — I got Mauritius up here — (holds up a page from the briefing book) — and nobody asked me. (Laughter.) Nobody. And I was ready today. (Laughter.)

Does the enrollment of Donald Trump in the American criminal justice system as a defendant, which necessarily entails certain restrictions on his movements and so on, provide for the American people some reassurance that he is less of a threat than he was when the President made those remarks?

MR. KIRBY: James, I’m just not in a position to speak to that one way or the other.
