At the daily press briefing, New York Post reporter Steven Nelson confronted John Kirby with information dripping from congressional investigations into the Biden family.
“There is one committee trying to get an FBI file alleging that President Biden took bribes. There’s another IRS whistleblower who’s alleging there’s a cover-up in the investigation,” he explained. “There’s, of course, evidence that the president interacted with his relative’s associates from China, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine.”
Nelson asked, “So what do you say to the majority of Americans who believe that the president is himself corrupt?”
The reporter cited a Harvard/Harris poll, which earlier this month found that 53% of Americans — a slim majority, but a majority still — believe Biden was involved in “an illegal influence peddling scheme” with his son, Hunter Biden.
Kirby was left awestruck that Nelson asked the question, while press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tried to stop Kirby from answering it.
“Wow,” Kirby responded.
“No, we got to wrap this up,” Jean-Pierre interjected after muttering “Jesus” under her breath upon hearing the question.
Kirby, however, did provide an answer — without addressing the substance of the question — despite Jean-Pierre’s attempts to interfere.
“The president has spoken to this, and there’s nothing to these claims,” Kirby claimed without providing any evidence to disprove the allegations.

And for the record, put me down on that list of the majority of Americans who do think Joe is corrupt!
And further for the record, according to the Knewz story titled “White House Accused of Covering Up Biden Corruption Questions” by Joshua Wilburn on 2 June 2023, that KJP comment was edited from the official transcript, to wit:
“So what do you say to the majority of Americans who believe that the President is himself corrupt?”
Jean-Pierre could be heard off camera crying out, “Jesus!” as a shocked Kirby on camera just responded with a stunned “Wow!” before taking six seconds of silence to compose himself and walk out a weak denial.
The White House ended up censoring Jean-Pierre’s reaction in the transcript.
The White House transcript excludes Jean-Pierre’s “Jesus!” reaction.
However, the transcript includes another off-camera remark of someone interjecting, “Can I take that question?” indicating a deliberate decision was made to exclude Jean-Pierre’s reaction.
The mother F-er is a crook! And the FBI is Corrupt!
And if you believe there is no evidence. Well you fall in line with the Trans genders that believe a man can get pregnant!
