Karine Jean Pierre Refuses To Address House GOP Request For Unredacted Records From Then VP Biden
Reporter: House Republicans have just sent a letter to National Archives requesting unredacted records from the office of then-Vice President Biden. Does the Whi- — does the White House support the transparency on these records?
KJP: So, look, I’m just going to let — I know the White House — my — my team at the White House Counsel’s Office has responded to this. I’m just going to let them deal with that — that information. I just don’t have more — more to share —
KJP Again Dodges Questions On Biden’s Involvement In Hunter’s Foreign Business Deals
Reporter: Okay. The — the letter —
KJP: — on that question.
Reporter: The letter sites email traffic between Kate Bedingfield and Eric Schwerin — who’s a longtime Hunter Biden business associate — in which Bedingfield signed off on quotes that should be used to respond to media inquiries about Hunter’s involvement in Burisma. How do you respond to criticism that that shows there was no wall between then-Vice President Biden’s work and his family’s business dealings?
KJP: I understand the question. I appreciate the question. I get the question. I’m just going to let the White House Counsel team answer that question.
Karine Jean-Pierre Can’t Give Any Information On If Biden Will Further Drain Strategic Oil Reserve
Reporter: Then on oil. I know the administration is currently trying to refill the Strategic Pe- — Petroleum Reserve, but if prices continue to spiral out of control, would you consider tapping it and selling more on the market to lower prices?
KJP: So, I don’t want to get too much into hypotheticals of what may or may not happen. Just want to be very careful. Clearly, that’s something that the Energy Department focuses on, as it relates to that piece of refilling — refilling. So, I’m just not going to get ahead of what the Energy Department might do. And so, I’m just going to leave it — kind of leave it there.

Reporter: And the Saudi decision to extend their oil production cuts — what’s your reaction to that? How does that complicate your effort to lower gas prices?

The President has said at the — at the — at the top, or the center, of his economic policy is lowering costs for Americans, right? And — and so, our focus is going to be abou- — about American consumers, how we can continue to do that. If you look at what we’ve been able to do th- — from last summer to this summer — lowering gas prices by a — by a dollar twenty cents — that is — that is because of the work that this administration has done. And so, we’re always going to be focused on how — what — you know, what — what steps we can take to continue to lower prices for Americans.

MR. SULLIVAN: (Laughs.) I don’t know who — I laugh because I don’t know who fits on the list of who you might be interested in.
Reporter: We’re interested in everyone, but those are the two. (Laughter.)
MR. SULLIVAN: It’s like there are two categories: the ones you’re not interested in and the ones you are interested in.
Reporter: We’re interested in all of them. I’m the State Department nerd. I’m interested in all of them.
MR. SULLIVAN: Okay.
Reporter: However, those two specifically.
MR. SULLIVAN: All right. We don’t have bilaterals scheduled with either of those two leaders at this time.
