A White House official blamed the Writers Guild of America strike for press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre missing a planned appearance on 'The View' on Wednesday.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refers reporters to the White House counsel when questioned about whistleblower claims.
While Jean-Pierre appearing on the live program could have resulted in uncomfortable moments, the White House insists her absence was in solidarity with the Writers Guild of America , which has been on strike since early May. The same official did not immediately respond to a follow-up email asking when the decision was made, as the writers’ strike has been going on for weeks and ABC promoted Jean-Pierre’s appearance on"The View" as recently as Tuesday. "TOMORROW: White House @PressSec Karine Jean-Pierre joins us LIVE at the #HotTopics table to weigh in on the latest headlines," the tweet said. ABC News did not immediately respond to a request for additional comment.
