On 5/16/2023, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierrewalked away when a reporter pressed her on Biden’s reaction to the Durham report. Special Counsel John Durham on Monday released his final report concluding the FBI had no verified intel when it opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump in 2016. In July of 2016, Peter Strzok opened a counterintel investigation into Trump’s camp dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane” on suspicions (based on no evidence) that the Russians had infiltrated Trump’s circle. According to John Durham’s report, Hillary Clinton’s plan to link Trump’s campaign to Russia was briefed by former CIA Director John Brennan to Barack Obama and Joe Biden in August 2016!

“What is the White House’s reaction to Special Counsel Durham’s report on how the FBI handled the Russia probe?” a reporter asked Karine Jean-Pierre. Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer any questions and walked away from the lectern.

Reporter: What is the White House reaction to Special Counsel Durham’s report on how the FBI handled the Trump-Russia probe?

KJP: I would leave it to the Department of Justice to speak to.

Reporter: So the President talks often about how he wants the DOJ and FBI to remain independent and, you know, above the fray. That report seems to reflect the opposite. Is — does he agree with Special Counsel Durham that there needs to be wholesale changes at the FBI?

KJP: Again, that is with the Department of Justice. That’s not something that I’m going to speak from the podium.

As you just stated in your question, we believe in an independent Department of Justice. That’s what the President said when he was running. And that is what he — the President has said the last two years. Thank you so much. I’ll see you guys in Japan.

Karine Jean-Pierre Says She’ll “Hopefully” Have Time To Sightsee In Japan During Upcoming Trip
Reporter: And this time, will you — this time, will you have a little chance to visit Japan? Last time, you didn’t get — get out of the hotel. But —

MR. KIRBY: Me?
Reporter: Her.
MR. KIRBY: Are you going to visit Japan, Karine?
KJP: I mean, yeah, hopefully. We’ll see. We’ll be busy. We’ll be very busy.

Top Biden Spokesman John Kirby Has No Info On CIA’s Use Of Telegram To Recruit Russian Assets
Reporter: The video that the U.S. has released asking Russian intelligence to share its secrets with the United States, what — why now? Why would any Russian share that kind of information? And what assurance and safety assurances is the U.S. offering?

MR. KIRBY: You’re talking about the video that the CIA released?
Reporter: Yeah.

MR. KIRBY: That’s not uncommon for them to do this, for one thing. They — they look for recruits same as the — same as the U.S. Navy does. And — and so, it’s not uncommon for them to use video as an opportunity to see if they can encourage others to — to help them out. I’d refer you to CIA to speak to the efficacy of — of that process and that program. But it’s not atypical for them to do that, and, frankly, it would be irresponsible if they weren’t doing that.

Reporter: Are you offering safety assurances, though? I mean, why would —
MR. KIRBY: I would refer you to the CIA to speak to the details of the program.

Kirby Notes Biden “Has To Make Tough Decisions” On Spending His Time Amid His Incessant Vacationing
Reporter: So you said a few moments ago that the President can do two things at once. He can do foreign policy, he can do domestic policy. You guys have said repeatedly before that the President can be president anywhere. So why then would he cancel part of this trip?

MR. KIRBY: I didn’t say he was canceling part of his trip.
Reporter: No, no, but you said you’re reevaluating it. So —

MR. KIRBY: I said we’re reevaluating, but we may — you know, there’s not been a cancellation as yet, but that could happen. We’ll see where it goes. I think — to get to, I think, the gist of your question is: The President often has to make tough decisions about how and where he’s going to spend his time.
