White House Press Conference Underway Shortly

US

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is shortly due her first full press briefing since last Friday's preview of President Biden's travel to Southeast Asia.

  • Livestream: https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/
  • Jean-Pierre is likely to address the announcement yesterday by House Republicans that the House Oversight Committee will launch an investigation into President Biden and his son Hunter Biden when they assume control of the lower house in January.
  • Incoming House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said at a press conference: "The President's participation in enriching his family is, in a word, abuse of the highest order. I want to be clear: This is an investigation of Joe Biden, and that's where our focus will be next Congress."
  • The White House said in a statement: "Instead of working with President Biden to address issues important to the American people, like lower costs, congressional Republicans' top priority is to go after President Biden with politically-motivated attacks chock full of long-debunked conspiracy theories."
