Jen Psaki 'out of the office' as Biden remains silent on Taliban takeover of Afghanistan
Fox News
Press Secretary Jen Psaki is taking a break from her duties as the crisis unfolds in the Middle East
"I will be out of the office from August 15th-August 22nd," read the email returned to Fox News. Instead, Psaki's reply directs the press to reach out to other press officers in her absence. The timing of Psaki's time off comes as Biden has faced criticism for remaining on vacation as the Taliban seize control of much of Afghanistan, even moving into the capital city of Kabul and seizing the presidential palace at a pace that has caught the White House off guard.More Related News
