On 1/15/2025, during the final Biden White House press briefing. Many of the gathered correspondents expected to see John Kirby taking the podium, as he has frequently done whenever major developments of an international nature have arisen. He was not to be seen, nor would anyone else from the State Department. Nor anyone else at all. This was all due to another piece of history taking place that afternoon – it was Karine Jean-Pierre’s final White House press briefing, and this needed to be the focus of that afternoon’s gathering…according to KJP herself.

The reporters expressed a bit of surprise at this decision, considering that as a monumental accord was becoming revealed, Jean-Pierre decreed that her final day was of greater historical significance. As some members of the press – such as Jenny Leonard of Bloomberg – tried to get some intel on the hostage deal Karine was dismissive, even stating she had no idea who Matt Miller ism the spokesperson from the State Department. Bloomberg’s Jenny Leonard had this remarkable back-and-forth on this taking-the-credit hullabaloo, which resulted in Jean-Pierre dissing State Department spokesman Matt Miller as just some “random person”.

At the State Department, spokesman Matthew Miller said Trump’s involvement was critical in getting the deal done.

KJP on John Kirby and Matt Miller, who are both infinitely better at their jobs than she is.
