KJP: Okay. And —
Reporter: — but why not have them come here, to the room —
KJP: Okay, I am saying to you —
Reporter: — to take questions?
KJP: — that we have put out lengthy statements. And you can reach out to them, as you all have been doing. And I will leave it there. Go ahead.
Reporter: But why are they subjecting you to this, Karine, then?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Go ahead, Justin.
Reporter: Why not have them come and answer the questions?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I — they have been — they have been talking to you all pretty regularly the last couple of days. We have put out — they have put out lengthy statements on this. I just read out what Richard Sauber had to say. And I would refer you to the White House Counsel.
I am limited in what I can say because — because the Department of Justice — we see them as being independent when it comes to these types of issues. And so, I’m not going to go beyond what the President say — said. And I’m not going to go beyond what the lawyers said.
I have to go around. You’ve asked about —

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I disagree. There has —
Reporter: — given what we’ve learned today?

Reporter: These statements were lacking —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: That is —
Reporter: — information on —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: That is —
Reporter: — when exactly these —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: There has not been a —
Reporter: — things were found.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: — limit of transparency. That I will — I will disagree with you on that.
Justin.
