Jean-Pierre Struggles To Say Why She Often Comments On Private Biz, Won’t Comment On PGA/LIV Merger
On 6/7/2023, a reporter asked Karine Jean-Pierre, “Could I just clarify one thing, Karine? You said repeatedly here that the White House didn’t want to comment on a private entity. A quick search back through briefings in recent months finds that you commented on JPMorgan’s merger or purchase of First Republic. And then you were asked last November about Elon Musk buying Twitter, saying: “We’re going to keep an eye on that decision.” Does the decision to not comment today have anything to do with the fact that the Secretary of State is in Saudi Arabia right now?

Karine Jean-Pierre Still Has No Update On Restricting Chinese Spyware App TikTok In US
Reporter: a couple of months ago, we were all talking about TikTok, and there was legislation put forward on the Hill that three months ago Jake Sullivan came out in support of, and then we haven’t really heard much since. Can you say whether you’re working at all with the Hill on making this become law? Are you working with the Senate, the House? Or have you sort of given up on any authority to restrict TikTok and other apps that you think are harmful?

KJP: So, look, it — certainly this is important to the President, to the administration, this type of legislation that Jake talked about a couple of months ago. I don’t have an update for you.
