WH quietly corrects Jean-Pierre's claim Biden has taken more press questions than Trump, Obama, Bush combined

The White House has quietly corrected a claim by press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre that President Biden has taken more question than his three most recent predecessors combined.

The topic was brought up during the gaggle when a reporter asked Jean-Pierre whether the administration had decided Biden would hold a press conference during his trip to Ireland this week, prompting her to share data she promised a day earlier she would share when questioned on the president's lack of availability to the press. 

"The President regularly — and takes questions from the press informally — informally as well at different locations and different formats. Right before he got on Air Force One, he took about five very newsy questions for all of you, which I think was very important for all of you," Jean-Pierre said, according to the transcript of the gaggle shared by the White House.
