As more details about the mishandling of classified information by President Joe Biden emerged, the White House press secretary refused to answer reporters' questions.
Jean-Pierre refused to provide details about Biden's mishandling of classified information, even as most of the reporters in the room piled on to ask questions about it.
If you missed the briefing on Thursday, Jean-Pierre would like to assure you that Biden takes classified information very seriously.

"Despite his seriousness about taking classified information seriously, Biden doesn't take it seriously. The White House claims that he didn't know that he had classified documents in his possession when he placed them in his garage. He also didn't leave them there to allow his son, Hunter, and the Chinese Communist Party's affiliates to access them."
Following a very rough briefing on Thursday, Jean- Pierre is scheduled to hold another briefing for reporters on Friday afternoon. Dana Perino, the White House press secretary, has asked Jean-Pierre when she learned about the documents.
Perino noted that the briefing was not about lawyers. She asked Jean-Pierre if she was aware of the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the Trump campaign before it happened. She also said that she would be furious if she was not informed about the details of the investigation before it happened.
"When did *you* know about these documents?"
That's the question @DanaPerino wants WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to answer.

"During an appearance on Friday morning's America's Newsroom, Perino suggested that reporters should ask questions to the press secretary directly. She is a former White House official and press secretary for President George W. Bush."
"Perino noted that reporters should not ask questions if the lawyers involved in the investigation have told them that they can't answer them. If they have, then the White House will know the answer."
