White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre, the woman who is supposed to represent President Joe Biden and his entire administration, punted all questions about a new impeachment inquiry into the Biden family "business" to the White House Counsel's office during the daily briefing Wednesday afternoon.

"Can you describe how President Biden reacted [to the impeachment inquiry]?"

Jean Pierre was also defiant in her claims President Joe Biden did nothing wrong.

"I'm not suggesting it, it's actually a fact," she said.

REPORTER: "You suggested that there's not evidence to back up Republicans' effort here..."

"Can you explain why the president interacted with so many of his son's foreign business associates?!"

JEAN-PIERRE: "Have a great day!"

"More than half of voters told CNN that the president was involved and he lied! You can't have a response to that, Karine?!" pic.twitter.com/LjwsTQQJNY

Earlier in the day the White House Counsel's office blasted a lengthy memo to reporters about how Biden officials believe the press should cover the impeachment inquiry. Naturally, officials demanded reporters take their focus off of President Biden's changing story surrounding his involvement with Hunter and shift to Republicans doing the investigation.

The letter has an uncomfortable feeling of marching orders to the media. It is also notable in the role of White House Counsel's office. It removes any pretense of separation between the Biden personal legal team and the White House Counsel’s office. https://t.co/YNXYxVxflG
