White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sparred with CBS News correspondent Ed O’Keefe on Thursday, with the White House reporter pressing the top aide on why she won’t say more about the discovery of classified documents at multiple locations associated with President Joe Biden.
Jean-Pierre stressed that the matter was being taken seriously, though she stuck with the timeline of Biden lawyers having alerted the Archives and the Justice Department. “This is the right thing to do in this case,” she said, before later adding: “I can’t talk about this, because the Department of Justice is reviewing it... I am limited in what I can say. I think you should reach out to the White House Counsel.
Jean-Pierre countered with the lawyers’ previous written statements, though O’Keefe fired back by suggesting that demonstrates a lack of public transparency from the White House.
