NextImg:Biden's Classified Documents: No Answers From the White House, But Here Are the Questions...

(CNSNews.com) - The Biden White House won't answer legitimate questions about Joe Biden's possession of classified documents, but reporters keep asking questions.

Here are the questions posed to Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday, in the order they were asked, and her evasive responses and/or "prudent" non-answers:

1. Reporter: "I'm wondering how the White House can claim that they are being transparent when the FBI search of the Penn Center — Penn Biden Center that happened months ago was not proactively disclosed to the public. And what should the public take away from the fact that you are keeping information like this from the public?"

Jean-Pierre: "Look, I’m going to be very prudent from here. I’m going to be very consistent from here. I’m just not going to comment anything that is related to what is currently happening. This is a legal process.

"As you just mentioned, my colleague was right outside these doors, answering many of your questions. He has done that these past couple of weeks — I believe four weeks now — and he’ll continue to do that. Anything that is specific to this — to this partic- — particular process, I would refer you to the Department of Justice and also, again, my colleagues at the White House Counsel’s Office."

The same reporter followed up: "I understand you’re not going to discuss the details or anything, but just, is there a reason that two of the searches were disclosed and not the search of the Penn Biden Center? You mentioned this is a legal process. Is there a legal reason why you’re disclosing only two and not what we know is a third search?"

Jean-Pierre: "I’m — again, I’m going to refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office."
 

2. Reporter: "Karine, what is the current number of documents bearing classified markings that have been found in the President’s residences and offices?"

Jean-Pierre: "I would refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office."

Reporter: "Okay. And (White House Counsel's Office spokesman) Ian (Sams) just declined to comment on that as well."

Jean-Pierre: "Okay. Well, there you go. You got your answer."
 

3. Reporter: "Why not have Ian brief in here?"

Jean-Pierre: "Well, Ian was outside and took your questions."

Reporter: "But why not in here like other government officials?"

Jean-Pierre: "Again, Ian was outside and took your question, and he’s been doing that for the last four weeks."

Reporter: "Would the White House have revealed today’s search if pool cameras hadn’t caught the investigators arriving on scene?"

Jean-Pierre: "Again, this is a question for the White House Counsel’s Office. I would refer you to them."

4. Reporter: "I asked this of Ian Sams outside when he took our questions earlier. I want to ask of you, though, because I think it is for the wider White House, not just the Special Counsel’s office, which is: Did anyone at the White House tell the National Archives at any point not to issue a press release about the discovery of classified documents?"

Jean-Pierre: "I would — I would really refer you to the White House Counsel’s Office, who has been running this process and refer you to them."

Reporter: "Even if it — even if it’s something that’s not just in their purview, it would be wider within the entire White House?"

Jean-Pierre: "I think because this is — when it — when it relates to the DOJ — when it relates to the Special Counsel, this is something that’s been under their purview, so I would refer you to them."

5. Reporter: "Understanding that you can’t tell us why the FBI search of the Biden Center wasn’t disclosed previously and that Ian Sams has referred questions about the National Archives possibly being blocked from sending a press release to DOJ — understanding you can’t talk about any of that — can you assure us that the White House has been and continues to be as transparent as possible — meaning that where there haven’t been disclosures, something has prevented that?"

Jean-Pierre: "What I can say is what the President has said many times — and you’ve seen it in our statements — is that we are cooperating fully. The President and his team is cooperating fully, and we will continue to do that. And I will just leave it there."
