President Joe Biden's campaign showed up with actor Robert De Niro outside Donald Trump's New York City hush money trial in an effort to focus attention in the presidential race on the 2021 US Capitol insurrection.It was a sharp about-face for Mr Biden's team, which had largely ignored the trial since it began six weeks ago but is now looking to capitalise on its drama-filled closing moments, sending the Goodfellas actor and first responders who were at the Capitol on January 6 2021.Mr Biden's campaign had been wary about feeding into Trump's argument that his criminal trials were the result of politically motivated prosecutions, but it decided to engage because its message about the stakes of the election was struggling to break through focus on the trial.
