NBC White House correspondent Peter Alexander sparred with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre over the Biden administration’s lack of transparency on Wednesday.
NBC correspondent Peter Alexander sparred with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre over the White House's refusal to answer questions on the classified documents.
"We've all reached out to the Department of Justice. A law enforcement official tells NBC News the Justice Department has not told the White House that it cannot talk about the facts underlying the special counsel investigation into classified documents. So trusting you've received that same information, understanding the desire to be prudent, then why? Why can't you speak about the underlying facts?" Alexander asked.
The following day, Jean-Pierre answered,"We've been clear when it comes to even underlying facts, when it comes to specifics, when it comes to something that is under the purview, that is that the Department of Justice is looking at especially legal matters and investigations, we do not comment from here, Peter. That has been consistent. So we've been very consistent."
"But because they can't witness it happening live, Americans don't get the same transparency into this back and forth. So is the White House having a conversation This is just with respect. You guys brought John Kirby in. I'm asking if that conversation exists," Alexander said.
