On 11/14/22, Joe Biden traveled to Bali, Indonesia after delivering remarks at the annual US-ASEAN Summit in Cambodia. Joe Biden and Xi Jinping meet ahead of the G-20 summit in Bali. Biden delivered remarks after his bilateral meeting with China’s Xi Jinping. Then he took questions from a preapproved list of reporters: “I’m happy to take questions and I’m told there will be four questioners.” Joe Biden says he was “told there will be four questioners” at his own press conference,” “Now I’m happy to take questions. And I’m told there are going to be four questioners, but I’m not going to do 10 questions from each questioner, all right? I’ll make that clear at the outset here. And — (laughs) — so, Ken Thomas”

“And I — I think that we understand one another, which is the most important thing that can be done. I guess all of you are going swimming from here. It’s not far. (Laughter.) But —”

“I’m not going to get into more questions. I shouldn’t even have answered your question.

Reporter: You had said you would try — you would plan to

Reporter: Mr. President, will you take —

Biden: No, no, I don’t think that —

Reporter: — a question from an Indonesian?
Biden: I don’t think there’s enough

Biden took questions from a preapproved list of reporters: “I’m happy to take questions and I’m told there will be four questioners.” But he couldn’t read from the list, “Um — uh, I’m having trouble reading this. Reuters, Natandya Bose.”

On 11/18/2022, during press briefing, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “If I could ask one more about this weekend. Why is the White House going against precedent and not letting any journalists in to cover a bit of this wedding that is taking place here at the People’s House?”

MS. Jean-Pierre: So, let me just give you a little bit of a wedding tick-tock because I know many of you had some questions. So, at 11:00 a.m., the ceremony on the South Lawn will begin. A family wedding party luncheon immediately after. And then there will be an evening reception on this very joyous occasion … But here’s the thing — and here’s — here’s the reality: The wedding of Naomi Biden and Peter is a private one. The family — it’s a family event. And Naomi and Peter have asked that their wedding be closed to the media, and we are respecting their wishes. This is something that the couple has decided. So — but understanding you all have interest, understanding that the media has interest in this — which I can understand it is a joyous occasion; we all want to celebrate them

Reporter: If I could try one more on the White House wedding. As I’m filing on this wedding and previewing it for folks, I’m looking at all of this video and images that we have of Tricia Nixon’s wedding, Alice Roosevelt Longworth’s wedding, the Johnson family’s wedding, and the historic record that now exists because the press was let in and able to get a glimpse of it. Why not just let the press in for a few minutes to have access? And, again, this is a wedding that’s happening here at the People’s House, not at a private residence.

MS. Jean-Pierre: I totally understand it’s happening at the People’s House. It’s a beautiful moment. It’s a joyous moment between these two young — these two young couple who have decided. It is their decision. They have decided to make this wedding private. It is a family event. It is — and we are going to respect Naomi and Peter’s wishes. This is going to be, you know, the wedding of …

Reporter: And lastly, on a lighter note, the President turns 80 years old on Sunday. How will he be celebrating that moment?

MS. Jean-Pierre: So, the First Lady is going to be having a brunch on Sunday for the President and — to celebrate the President’s family — I’m sorry — the President’s birthday on Sunday with his family.
