WASHINGTON, DC: White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently appeared on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ where she spoke to anchors Mika Brzezinski, Willie Geist and Jonathan Lemire.

During this segment, Lemire questioned Jean-Pierre about the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, which was formalized in December last year as the GOP Oversight Committee continues its investigation into both Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.

Jean-Pierre clarified in this segment that there was “no evidence” against President Biden before her focus shifted to the Republicans in Congress and border security.

After conversing with Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe,’ Karine Jean-Pierre was welcomed by Jonathan Lemire who wished the White House Press Secretary a happy new year before he dived straight into his question.

Lemire briefly spoke about the Congress returning next week before he asked, “I want to ask you about something that a lot of Republicans are focussing on right now, and that is the impeachment inquiry into the President.”



 

He continued, “You know, the White House has made clear they don't believe there's any evidence there, but talk to us about how you are preparing for what is coming, you know, in the weeks and months ahead, which, if nothing else, will be a drain on staff, time, personnel and resources.”

Jean-Pierre responded promptly, “Look, the White House counsel is dealing with this issue, so I'll leave that to them. That is something in their purview. But you said it, Jonathan, there is no evidence. It is not just coming from Democrats. It is coming from Republicans, as well. There is no there there. It is so unfortunate that Republicans in Congress want to focus on the president's family instead of the American family.”

The White House Press Secretary also added, “We want to work with them in a bipartisan way to get things done.”

As Karine Jean-Pierre continued her statement on “working together,” she also mentioned border security.

Jean-Pierre said, “We need to continue to work together on border security. The president, first day in his administration, in a couple of weeks we'll hit three years since the president has been in the administration, the first thing he put forward was a comprehensive immigration law. That's what he put forward to Congress.”

She added, “That's because he believed that our system was broken and it had been broken for decades, and wanted to take that seriously. But we need Republicans in Congress to work with us on that. We appreciate the negotiations that are currently happening in the Senate. It is headed in the right direction. We want to come up with a bipartisan agreement.”

“We saw what the House passed ending of last year. They wanted to take away law enforcement folks who are at the border, trying to protect our border. That's not what we want to see. We want to figure out how we work together,” said the White House Press Secretary.
