Another rough day for KJP.
Reporters at Thursday’s White House press briefing had their fair share of #GarageGate questions —that’s what some are calling the latest revelation that Biden kept classified docs in his garage in Delaware next to his Corvette.
Despite some excellent questions, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was short on answers.
“Another one on GarageGate. What is the White House trying to hide? … Someone gave the president a statement to read on Tuesday that was incomplete at best, misleading at worst,” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked.
On Tuesday, Biden said “people know I take classified documents and classified information seriously. I was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office. But I don’t know what’s in the documents. My lawyers have not suggested I ask what they were.”
More documents have been discovered since Biden’s remarks.

"Do you acknowledge that the fact that the White House did not reveal this to the public despite the fact that you've known about it for months undercuts the president's promise of being transparent?"
