It was another rough day for White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre; KJP was forced to field a barrage of questions on Biden’s mishandled classified documents —but, once again, she didn’t have many answers.
KJP also insists the Biden Administration has been “transparent,” despite the documents being discovered before the midterm elections and not discussed until this week.
