Biden campaign slams Trump for golfing on day off rather than campaigning

President Joe Biden's presidential campaign slammed former President Donald Trump on Thursday, for spending time on his golf course in New Jersey during his day off from court, rather than campaigning for November.

Trump was given a one-day break in his hush money trial in New York on Wednesday, where he has been accused of falsifying his financial paperwork to allegedly hide hush money payments he gave to his former attorney Michael Cohen in 2016. The payment was allegedly meant to keep former porn star Stormy Daniels from talking about an alleged affair she had with Trump years ago. Trump has denied the affair and any wrongdoing, and pleaded not guilty to all 34 charges.

Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa mocked Trump for not having any campaign related events on Wednesday, when the court is not in session. Trump has previously complained that his four major court cases are designed to keep him in court and away from campaigning.

“We found out where Trump was. He was golfing. Not campaigning. Golfing,” Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement reported by The Hill. “But, when your entire campaign is about enacting revenge and retribution for yourself and doing nothing to make Americans’ lives better, it makes sense you wouldn’t feel the need to actually speak to voters."

The campaign also released a statement on Wednesday night titled “Statement on Trump’s Campaign Events Today," and the message simply read "he had none." 

The comments come after Biden campaigned in Florida and New York this week. He also campaigned in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, last week. Trump will campaign in Michigan and Wisconsin next Wednesday, CBS reported, and is expected to host a donor retreat in Florida the following weekend.
