White House defends press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre amid increasing tensions with reporters
Fox News
Tensions between White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and members of the press have only grown in the days following President Biden's weak debate performance.
The briefing room erupted Monday after Jean-Pierre repeatedly would not confirm the name of Dr. Kevin Cannard — a neurologist who specializes in Parkinson's disease. Cannard met several times with Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, in the White House over the past year. Jeffrey Clark is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.
