Robert De Niro claims Trump 'could destroy the world' outside Manhattan court

Actor Robert De Niro slammed former President Trump as a "danger" to Americans in comments during a Biden-Harris press conference in New York City on Tuesday outside the Manhattan courtroom where the 45th president is facing trial.

"I hope this new ad campaign reaches outside the bubble to remind supporters of what a danger he is to our lives. This is not a threat. This is our reality. And that's why I've joined the Biden-Harris campaign, because the only way to preserve our freedoms and hold on to our humanity is to vote for Joe Biden for president," De Niro said of Trump on Tuesday during the Biden-Harris press conference in Manhattan. 

The actor was joined by the Biden campaign's communications director, Michael Tyler, who called Trump a "chaos agent," as well DC Metropolitan Police Department Officer Michael Fanone and former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, who was present in the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were not present during the event.
