‘It is an active investigation’

EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: "So, what I can say is, I cannot comment on this directly because — because it is an active investigation, as you know, that the Department of Justice is currently moving forward with, so I'm gonna be really careful. What I can say is, every Afghan national who entered the U.S. was screened and vetted by intelligence, law enforcement, counterterrorism professionals. And with every new information that emerges, that individual — if that individual could pose a threat to public safety, you take immediate action, and we take that action.”
