White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre was peppered with questions about President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, defiantly refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena Wednesday for a closed door deposition with the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees. She refused to give any substantive or relevant answers.
"They [President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden] are proud of him. They are proud of their son," Jean-Pierre said.
DOOCY: "If I called my dad and said, 'I am about to violate a congressional subpoena,' he'd probably say 'Son, you shouldn't do that!' Was there any attempt by President Biden to talk his son out of it today?!"
