Biden tried to justify himself for saying Trump was a target

A week before the assassination attempt on the former president, Biden said it was “time to put Trump in the bullseye of a target”. An NBC journalist asked the US leader what he meant by the phrase.

 

“I meant ‘centre of the target’ in the sense of ‘focus of attention’. Focus on what he’s doing,” Biden explained.

He added that it was a mistake to use the expression. Earlier, Republicans in Congress accused Biden of targeting Trump and demanded an investigation.
