Biden is settling in to watch "Oppenheimer" as Trump world reels from the indictment.

Biden, who is currently on vacation in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, is seeing the blockbuster movie with first lady Jill Biden, according to the White House. "Oppenheimer" is three hours long, so don't expect to see the president for a bit.

In brief remarks outside an event in Philadelphia tonight, Attorney General Merrick Garland said that career employees of the Justice Department "engaged in what has become the largest investigation in our history."

"In order to underline the department’s commitment to accountability and independence, Mr. Smith and his team of experienced principled career agents and prosecutors have followed the facts and the law wherever they lead," Garland, who appointed Jack Smith as special counsel in November, told reporters. "Any questions about this matter will have to be answered by the filings made."

Current and former officers who defended the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot are reacting to today's indictment.

"937 days and counting... An indictment is only a mile marker along the highway to justice and accountability," Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn said in a tweet.

Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges, who was crushed by a pro-Trump mob in a tunnel leading to the Capitol on Jan. 6, tweeted: "Today’s indictments have been a long time coming, but in so many ways they only mark the beginning. Regardless, I’m grateful for Jack Smith, his team, and all who aided the investigation for getting us here. I look forward to the trial; may it be as speedy as it is consequential."

Aquilino Gonell, who was injured in the Jan. 6 riot as a Capitol Police sergeant, tweeted: "Republican officials who my colleagues and I risked our lives to defend while they were running for their lives in fear on Jan 6, today, are defending and condoning the actions of the former guy. The indictment reflects what he did before, during and after the assault."

Former Capitol Police Officer Winston Pingeon tweeted: "I want Justice for what my fellow officers and I endured while defending democracy on January 6th. One step closer."

Pingeon also shared a photo of him clad in defense gear with the Capitol in the background.

Prosecutors said in the indictment that on Jan. 5, 2021, Trump met alone with Vice President Mike Pence.

"When the Vice President refused to agree to the Defendant’s request that he obstruct the certification, the Defendant grew frustrated and told the Vice President that the Defendant would have to publicly criticize him," the indictment said.

"Upon learning of this, the Vice President’s Chief of Staff was concerned for the Vice President’s safety and alerted the head of the Vice President’s Secret Service detail."

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of only two Republicans who served on the House Jan. 6 committee, said that Trump “is a cancer on our democracy” and “Today is the beginning of Justice.”

“On the 1/6 Committee, we uncovered proof that Donald Trump not only knew what was happening at the Capitol, but encouraged it,” Kinzinger, a vocal Trump critic who represented a district in Illinois, said on social media.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who chaired the Jan. 6 committee, wrote: “Today’s charges are consistent with those the Select Committee referred to the Special Counsel last year, and successful prosecutions will not only bring accountability but also help prevent something like January 6th from ever happening again.”

Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., who was also on the House Jan. 6 committee, weighed in on the indictment as well.

"The January 6th Capitol attack was an assault on our democracy, and everyone involved must be held accountable, including Donald Trump," he wrote. "In our country, nobody is above the law."

It’s too soon to know how Trump’s indictment Tuesday over his actions following the 2020 election could affect him politically. But recent polling does show how the public feels about his conduct.

Trump was indicted on four federal charges relating to his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen and his alleged attempts to stop the results from being certified.

Here’s a look at what recent polling says about how the American public views the circumstances surrounding Trump’s actions and the possibility of an indictment over that conduct.

Mike Fanon, a former officer for the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department, who was assaulted by rioters during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capital reacted to Trump's latest legal woe Tuesday.

“Donald Trump spent his entire lifetime f---ing around and he’s about to find out," Fanone said in a statement to NBC News. "I’d like to think that in some small way I played a part in all this.”

While the co-conspirators are not named in the indictment, some details are provided on their background and role in the alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election results.

According to the indictment, the six co-conspirators consisted four attorneys, one Justice Department official, and a political consultant.

• "Co-Conspirator 1," is described as an attorney "who was willing to spread knowingly false claims and pursue strategies" that Trump's 2020 campaign attorneys would not pursue.
• "Co-Conspirator 2," is described as an attorney who "devised" and tried to implement a strategy to leverage then-Vice President Mike Pence's largely ceremonial role in overseeing the the certification of Joe Biden's electoral victory on Jan. 6 to "obstruct the certification of the presidential election."
• "Co-Conspirator 3," is described as an attorney whose election fraud claims Trump privately acknowledged to others sounded “crazy," but that Trump "embraced and publicly amplified" nonetheless.
• "Co-Conspirator 4," is a Justice Department official who worked on civil matters, according to the indictment, and joined Trump in attempting to use the agency to "open sham election crime investigations and influence state legislatures with knowingly false claims of election fraud."
• "Co-Conspirator 5," is described as an attorney who helped devise and attempt to implement a plan to submit fraudulent slates of presidential electors
• "Co-Conspirator 6," is described as a political consultant who played a role in implementing a plan to submit false slates of presidential electors.
