White House Correspondents' Association slams Biden admin for not holding briefings as default deadline looms
Fox News
The Biden White House is being called out by the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) for halting press briefings until after the holiday weekend.
"The WHCA board pushed hard for the White House to hold a briefing on Friday or potentially over the weekend given intense interest in the high stakes debt ceiling negotiations and the risk that the US economy could go over a cliff," Keith wrote in a statement to Fox News. "The White House was not persuaded by our argument that the public deserves to see them answer questions. Monday is a federal holiday, which means there could be four days in the midst of a political crisis, without a briefing." Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital.
