AP’s Zeke Miller Grills KJP on the ‘Credibility of This White House’ on Biden’s Health

‘I mean those are two very different answers’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: "First few is on the credibility of this White House when it comes to talking about the president's health. When you were here last Tuesday, you were asked if the president had any medical examinations since his physical in February, including the time period after the debate. You said, flatly, no. Three days later, you admitted the president had a short check-in with the medical team thereafter. Those are two very different — "

JEAN-PIERRE: "No, no, no, no, no. I actually — actually, if you, if you were to listen to the — I think I did a 30-minute gaggle on Friday. 30 minutes with — I think it was with the pool, and -- and I said he did not have a medic — I cleared it up, you’re right, you’re correct. I said he didn’t — I still stand that he didn’t have a medical exam. I said that in the gaggle and you’re right, I said that in the briefing. He had a check-in with — he said this on Friday, he had a check-in with his — with his medical doctor, which is something that he does a couple times a week, as you know, and I say — I stated this as well.”
