CBSN
Washington — White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will make history when she steps behind the podium in the James S. Brady Briefing Room on Wednesday, becoming just the second African-American woman to lead a White House press briefing.
Judy Smith, a deputy press secretary for President George H.W. Bush and the inspiration for Olivia Pope on "Scandal," was the first Black woman to do so, when she held a briefing in 1991.More Related News
