Following the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, the White House is attempting to distance itself from the controversial effort.
During a news briefing on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked whether the Biden administration knew about the planned raid.
She denied that the administration was ever briefed on the raid.
“No, the president was not briefed, was not aware of it. No. No one at the White House was given a heads up, no. That did not happen.”
