Jean-Pierre Refuses to Answer If Federal Officials Are Searching for More Classified Biden Docs

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to say during Tuesday’s press briefing whether federal officials were still searching for additional classified documents from President Joe Biden’s time as vice president in the Obama administration.

“Last week [you said] that we all can assume, the American people could assume that the searches were completed and all the documents have been recovered,” Zeke Miller, Associated Press reporter, stated that. “On Saturday, the White House Counsel’s Office said that five additional classified documents had been found.”

“Is it safe to assume now that all the documents have been recovered, all the official records, all the classified documents are back in [the] custody of the National Archives?” Miller asked. “Or are more searches underway to find out if there’s anything out there?”

Jean-Pierre refused the question and claimed she was being “prudent” by letting the DOJ’s special counsel investigation into Biden continue without commenting on it.

Jean-Pierre was also asked by Jean-Pierre if Biden was involved in the search for classified documents through his belongings.

“Is he physically joining in the search for these things, rummaging around these boxes in the garage and wherever else?” A reporter was asked. “I mean, literally.”

Jean-Pierre replied by saying she was being “very clear” In that she refused to comment on the investigation or any matters related thereto.
