On 1/23/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “On Friday, when we were here, you were asked about the President going to Rehoboth and if that had anything to do with searches, and you declined to answer that. Did you know Friday there was a search going on at the President’s home?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, I’ll say this — and I think I said this on Friday as well: They go to Delaware almost every — every weekend … And I’ll just, you know, put — I’ll just mention what was said in the statement just on Saturday, which is the DOJ requested that the search not be made public in advance, in line with its standard procedures. And we — we did adhere to that. As you can understand, that is something that we are going to take very seriously.
Reporter: Should we anticipate other searches are possible?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: That part, I would definitely refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office.
Reporter: Thanks. The President is scheduled to go to Camp David this weekend. Just to clarify, should we read any- — anything into that? And does he have full access to his homes right now, both Wilmington and Rehoboth?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I would — I would refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office.
Reporter: But going back to what Mary was asking, when — the President says that he takes classified material and the handling of it very seriously. This weekend, top Senate Democrats, who have known him for decades, described this situation as “unacceptable” and “completely irresponsible.” What’s the disconnect here?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: They also said, I may add — if I may add — that the President is handling this in the appropriate fashion, that the President and his team has been completely — complying completely with — with the investigation. They also said that. And so, I will — I will leave it up to — their comments up to them. I’m not going to go beyond what they have said. But they also said that piece too, and I think it’s important to note that they believe that the President has handled this properly, as well.
Reporter: Just two quick ones. One, does the Pres- — I know the President has answered a few questions here and there. But is there any plans for the President to come out and sort of address this investigation in a more fulsome way, give more of a detailed timeline? I know you’re referring us to the Counsel’s Office, but I’m wondering if we will hear more fully from the President himself on this matter.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Look, as you just stated in your question to me, the President has addressed this — spoken to — about this a couple of times. And I don’t have anything to announce right now. But he’s going to continue, again, to take questions from all of you, as he has done these past several months — these two years.
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough grilled Biden’s special assistant Ian Sams about GarageGate. Mika Brzezinski asked Ian Sams how classified documents ended up at Joe Biden’s home and private office. “How could this happen?…there’s no answer being provided,” Mika Brzezinski said.
“I understand that there’s a desire for public disclosure of information,” Ian Sams said.
Joe Scarborough wasn’t buying anything Biden’s spox was saying.“Does the DOJ need to tell the president why the president has classified documents in his home? I don’t understand that,” Scarborough said. “How in the world this could have happened” he said.
Ian Sams repeated his same talking points and hid behind the DOJ’s “ongoing investigation.”
