‘Explain To Us’: Associated Press Reporter Calls Out Biden Administration’s Repeated Lies [VIDEO]

Throughout much of the Biden administration, few correspondents aside from Fox News Channel’s Peter Doocy have dared to confront White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

As Biden’s final day in office draws near and he is reportedly considering a number of last-minute pardons, however, some reporters are getting a little more direct in their questioning.

The AP called out Karine Jean Pierre for lying to the American people…

As Fox News reported:

Biden released a statement on Dec. 1 announcing that he would pardon his son, sparing Hunter from sentencing in two federal cases involving federal tax charges and felony gun charges. The pardon also covers all potential crimes Hunter “committed or may have committed” from Jan. 1, 2014 to Dec. 1, 2024.

“You were asked about the president pardoning his son and you said, ‘It’s a no. It will be a no. It’s a no,'” AP White House correspondent Zeke Miller said, recounting Jean-Pierre’s statements.

“I’m wondering if you would like to explain to us, to the American people, really, why the information you provided turned out not to be true,” Miller said.

“When you look at the statement, it’s pretty comprehensive,” Jean-Pierre said, referring to Biden’s full statement, adding that the “circumstances have changed.”

Biden’s about-face regarding a pardon for his son and speculation that additional pardons are on the way have fueled significant social media discussion:

Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter is the most sweeping Presidential pardon since Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon.

It represents the deep corruption and contempt for the rule of law that has characterized the Biden presidency.

Here’s how Jean-Pierre reacted to backlash on the topic during the recent press conference, per the Washington Examiner:

“I know what I said,” Jean-Pierre told reporters Friday. “I know what the president said. That is where we were at the time. That is where the president was at the time. … He wrestled with it and made this decision. … Circumstances have changed.”

Those circumstances include President-elect Donald Trump‘s nominations of former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, a loyalist, to lead the Justice Department and Kash Patel, a former DOJ prosecutor who was chief of staff to acting Defense Secretary Christoper Miller, deputy director of national intelligence, and the National Security Council’s senior director for counterterrorism during Trump’s first administration, for FBI director. Patel, in particular, has been criticized for his list of 60 people who he claims in his 2023 book, Government Gangsters, are part of the so-called “deep state.”

“There have been some circumstances that have changed this. Republicans not letting up saying they won’t stop,” Jean-Pierre said Friday. “I mentioned the recent Trump appointees of legal enforcement positions that said during the campaign they were out for retribution.”

Here’s a full clip of Jean-Pierre attempting to explain away the obvious and repeated lies of the Biden administration:
