White House denies secret plot to oust Karine Jean-Pierre as Biden faces more bad news
Fox News
The Biden administration has denied a secret plot to oust Karine Jean-Pierre from her role as White House press secretary as the president's re-election hopes face more bad news.
"Not only are these claims wildly false, but the reality is the polar opposite. Karine was never approached by anyone with such a message. She spends four hours preparing every day. And neither Jeff nor Anita did any such thing; both have been unflinchingly supportive of her," Bates told The Post. Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News.

According to The Post's sources, Jean-Pierre's bosses were unhappy with her habit of reading prepared answers directly from her binder, which they viewed as falling short of making an adequate case for President Biden as he prepared to launch his re-election campaign.
