On 1/3/2023, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “another topic with the new Republican majority coming in. The House Oversight Committee is laying out their new investigations, and they claim to have evidence that Joe Biden lied to the American people about his involvement in his family’s business schemes. Did he?”

KJP: So, look, I have said this before and I’ll say it again: House Republicans promised that fighting inflation during the midterms was going to be their number one priority. That’s what they said was important to them, and that’s what they said that they wanted to do. But instead, what they’re doing is wanting to do an investigation on the President and his family.

That is their focus. They don’t want to focus on the American people and their family; they want to focus on political division. They want to focus on something that the American people do not want to see, as we saw from the midterm elections.

Look, I’m not going to get into — you know, get into the specifics of any of the oversight here. We have a White House Counsel that’s going to — my colleagues who are going to deal with this. So I would point you to them.

And, you know, again, I’ll point you — one more thing — I’ll point you to tomorrow. Tomorrow, we’re going to see a — you know, a trip, an event where — that’s going to be done in a bipartisan way.

So, there’s ways to move forward for the American people, for American families in a way that works.

Reporter: Yeah, so the — the President took credit when gas prices were coming down. Now the barrels leaving the Strategic Petroleum Reserve — well, that’s ending. The President has not changed anything with energy policy. Is the President’s policies then to take credit for the gas prices rising over the past seven days?

KJP: So, look, I — I want to make note here because this is important: We’ve made significant progress in lowering the prices — gas prices, specifically. Prices are down nearly $2.00 per gallon and are lower today than they were one year ago today — this very day. So, we’ve seen a slight increase, yes, over the past week, due to cold weather that shut down some refineries …

Reporter: So, then once these refineries come back online, do you expect the gas prices to come back down? And the price of gas when the President came into office was $2.39 a gallon.

KJP: I know, but I’m talking about one year ago. And that was — one year ago was not when he came into office, right?

Reporter: Just a tiny holiday catch-up — or maybe not tiny at all, because it was a giant meltdown. Does the administration have any thoughts about the Southwest Airlines meltdown? Are you guys satisfied with the performance of the airline? And what is the administration going to do to make sure that passengers are made whole?

KJP: … all major airlines except for one — which is Southwest, clearly — were able to recover quickly. So Southwest Airlines acknowledged that all cancellations starting December 24th were “controllable.” In other words, not weather related. So that means the airlines assumes responsibility. Based on Southwest’s prior commitments to const- — customers, the airline must cover rebooking, hotel rooms, meals, and transportation to and from a hotel. What’s more, Southwest must make their customers whole by paying for coach flights, rental cars, and trains to get people to their final destinations. And Southwest must return baggage as quickly as possible and reimburse passengers up to $3,800 in pro- — provable damage under Southwest care.
