Biden Official Defends Transparency While Stonewalling Reporters – By Katherine Fung (Newsweek) / Jan 13, 2023
President Joe Biden’s latest classified documents scandal has left his officials in a tough spot as they try to uphold the administration’s vow for transparency while addressing the press about the ongoing investigation.
On Friday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre offered several non-answers to questions about the recent developments, while reminding the media that the administration has been “fully cooperating” with the DOJ investigation and continues planning to do so.
“I’m just not going to go beyond what the president said,” Jean-Pierre said during the press briefing. “We have talked about this at length. We’ve had multiple statements on this.”
