Jean-Pierre on Biden Not Holding Press Conferences: ‘The President Takes Shouted Questions’

Reporter: ‘Is the administration trying to protect the president from our questions?’

EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: “I mean, the President takes shouted questions — I understand, John. I understand. I understand. I’ve dealt with this question about three times already. I understand that it is — it is — it is the job of you all to ask this question to me, totally get that. And that’s not a problem at all. But, certainly, the President, many times, has stand — has stood in front of all of you, has taken questions on his own, because he wanted to see what was on your minds, he wanted to see what the questions you all were going to ask him. And he wanted to answer them directly. That has happened multiple times, many times during this administration. And that will certainly continue to be. When it comes to a formal press conference, I don’t have anything to share with you at this time.”
