White House hammered on transparency after President JoeBiden contracts COVID-19
"I wholeheartedly disagree," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Thursday."We're doing this very differently, very differently, I would argue, than the last administration."Earlier, Jean-Pierre defended White House physician Kevin O'Connor's absence from the briefing, contending she was accompanied by Ashish Jha, the administration's COVID-19 response coordinator, who is also a doctor.
O'Connor will provide"daily statements," Jean-Pierre added after being pushed on contradictions between O'Connor's letter and she and Jha about the onset of Biden's symptoms.Former President Donald Trump and his White House aides were less transparent when he contracted COVID-19.Trump got the respiratory illness in September 2020 before vaccines and treatments were available.
