Q: expressing concern would somehow get ahead of Secret Service investigation A: under purview

#shorts On 7/5/2023, a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “one thing that you’re not expressing is concern over the fact that this was found on the property, and I guess I’m wondering how expressing concern would somehow get ahead of the Secret Service investigation.

KJP: I think this is being investigated. It’s under the purview of so- — of the Secret Service. We’re going to let them — let them get to the bottom of this and see what happened. I’m just not going to get ahead of it. I’m just not.

Reporter: So it’s no big deal?

On 7/5/2023, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked a surprising number of questions from reporters at briefing on the subject of the discovery Sunday of cocaine in the West Wing. First and foremost, Jean-Pierre wanted everyone to know that Joe, Jill, Hunter and the entire Biden family were away from the White House starting Friday and did not return until Tuesday. The Bidens spent the long holiday weekend at Camp David, returning on Tuesday for the Fourth of July celebration at the White House where Hunter was given pride of place on the Truman Balcony during the fireworks show. Jean-Pierre strongly inferred West Wing visitors were to blame for the cocaine, saying the discovery was made in a “heavily traveled” area of the West Wing and that tours had taken place there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
