Karine Jean Pierre Nothing Has Changed On If Biden Has Discussed Business Deals With Hunter
Reporter: Moments ago, you said that nothing has changed, when you were asked about the President’s previous remarks on his son’s business dealings. But the language has, in fact, changed. So, I just want to clear this up once and for all. The President has previously said that he has never discussed overseas business dealings with his son. But the White House now says that the President has never been in business with his son. So, why the updated language? Which statement is true? Or is this semantics and they’re both true?
KJP: As I stated on Monday when I was asked this question multiple times, nothing has changed. Nothing has changed on this.
Reporter: So both of those statements are true?
KJP: Nothing has changed on this. And so, you could ask me a million different ways on this question. Nothing has changed.
Reporter: Yeah, the only reason I ask is because the White House and the — the President’s circle — you know, that language does seem to be somewhat different, and I didn’t know if there was any distinction there.
Jean-Pierre Has “To Look Into” How Hunter’s Art Buyer Ended Up With Plum Commission Appointment
Reporter: I wanted to ask, though, about Elizabeth Naftali. She’s made more than a dozen visits here to the White House and met with some of the President’s most senior advisors. Can you tell us a little bit more about those visits, why she was here?
KJP: I would have to look into that. I’ve not — I’ve not been tracking the — these visits that you’re mentioning to me.
Jean-Pierre Won’t Say If Hunter’s Illegal Firearm Charge Should Be Prosecuted To Fullest Extent
Reporter: Does he believe that someone who is charged with possessing a firearm illegally should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law?
KJP: So, here, I’m going to be — I think I know where this question is going, and I’m just going to continue to say: As it relates to this — the case that we’re seeing in Delaware, I’m just going to not speak to that.
Jean-Pierre Refuses To Say Biden Had No Discussions “Of Any Kind” With Hunter About Business Deals
Reporter: Earlier this week, you said the President was never in business with his son. But can you say specifically that the President did not have discussions of any kind with Hunter about his business dealings?
KJP: I appreciate the question. I’ve been asked this question multiple times in different various — variations in different ways. I — as you mentioned, I was asked this question multiple times on Monday. Nothing has changed. I don’t have anything to add to what I stated on Monday.
Karine Jean-Pierre’s First Comment On Hunter Biden News: “This Was A Personal Matter For Him”
KJP said, “Now, I know many people have been following the news in Delaware today and have — and are going to have a lot of questions. And so, here’s what I’ll say at the top before I turn it over to my colleague, the Admiral: Hunter Biden is a private citizen, and this was a personal matter for him. As we have said, the President, the First Lady — they love their son, and they support him as he continues to rebuild his life. This case was handled independently, as all of you know, by the Justice Department under the leadership of a prosecutor appointed by the former president, President Trump. So for anything further, as you know — and we’ve been very consistent from here — I’d refer you to the Department of Justice and to Hunter’s representatives, who is his legal team, obviously, who can address any of your questions.
Q: President in touch with Hunter’s legal team? extremely rare high-profile case to fall apart
Reporter: Have the President and his attorneys been in touch with Hunter’s legal team today? And, you know, have they been keeping tabs on the proceedings?
KJP: Look, I — I don’t have anything to share. I would refer you to — on this particular issue, I would refer you to Hunter’s representative. I would refer you to the Department of Justice. I don’t have anything to share beyond on what I shared at the top of this — of this briefing.
Reporter: It’s — it’s extremely rare in such a high-profile case for a plea deal to fall apart like this. Does the President believe that the prosecutors — the federal prosecutors in this case have acted appropriately and competently?
KJP: As you know, Jeremy, this was an independent investigation
