Former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki agreed to apologize for claiming the president didn’t check his watch during a ceremony for U.S. service members.
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki allegedly asked the Foreign Affairs Committee to pass along an apology to Gold Star families for denying President Biden checked his watch during a ceremony. Psaki agreed to a closed-door transcribed interview with the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Friday regarding the chaotic 2021 Afghanistan evacuation.
The chairman asked Ms. Psaki about her comments regarding President Biden looking at his watch while at Dover and asked her if she had anything she wanted to say to the families on the record,' Leslie Shedd, Foreign Affairs Committee majority spokeswoman, said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. The statement continued, 'After pressing her multiple times if she had something she wanted to say to them, Ms.
Psaki came under fire in May when her recently published book 'Say More' previously claimed 'the president looked at his watch only after the ceremony had ended' and insisted critics misrepresented the facts to make Biden appear insensitive. However, Gold Star families have long said they saw Biden check his watch multiple times during the dignified transfer ceremony. She was later forced to edit and remove the line from future reprints and digital copies of the book.
