#shorts On 1/18/2023, CBS White House correspondent Weijia Jiang asked about security procedures at the White House – and not about the Justice Department investigation, “Just to be clear, my question is about procedures here at the White House and not about anything specific related to the DOJ investigation. So I’m just wondering how this episode has prompted a review of the process in which staffers handle classified information and how they are turned over to National Archives during a transition.”
Jean-Pierre said: “To be clear, I’m going to refer you to the my colleagues at the White House Counsel’s Office. They will be able to address that particular questions. I’m just not going to address something that is even related to an ongoing legal process.”
Reporter: But why not? I mean, I’m having a hard time understanding why —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I just said —
Reporter: — questions about —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Weijia —
Reporter: — procedure would impact the investigation.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: And I just said — and I just said to you: The White House Counsel’s Office will be able to address that question.
