#shorts On 11/22/2022, a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “Yeah, thanks very much. You said from the lectern that the wedding of Naomi Biden and Peter would be a private one —

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Yeah.

Reporter: — and that it would be closed to the media. Yet I’m reading all about it and looking at pictures on the Vogue website. Can you just talk us through what happened there?”

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, first of all, let’s level-step here for a second … And so, it is inaccurate, completely wrong — it is not right to say that it was open. To suggest that it — that a Vogue cover was open to the press, it was not. And so, I just want to be very, very clear what you’re reading right now is not accurate.

Q Yeah, I mean, I wasn’t suggesting that —

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: No, but that’s what you just said.

Q No, my question was: You had said it was going to be a private wedding.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: It was.

Q I mean, I think — I mean, it seems as if you are saying it would be — the media would not be allowed access on their wedding day. But I think those of us might think that dressing up in a wedding dress, having a photoshoot, talking about the wedding is coverage of the wedding.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: The wedding was private. It was a private family affair. There was no press access to the wedding. We were very clear about that. There is no — no reason to mince our words here. The fa- — the family and the — and friends were invited to this family — to this wedding. It was a private event. It was a young couple’s wedding. It was a joyous occasion. Again, the reports out there are inaccurate and false.”
