Jean-Pierre Dodges Questions on Classified Documents: ‘This Is an Ongoing Process’

Reporter: “These documents were discovered on November 2nd. This didn’t become public until the colleague at CBS News reported this on Monday. That’s more than two months later. Why was the public not informed while the White House prepared a P.R. response for two months?”

Jean-Pierre: “Again, this was under review — this is under review by the Department of Justice. I won’t go beyond what the President shared yesterday, and I am not going to go beyond what my colleagues at the White House Council shared with all of you as well.”

Reporter: “Given the position you’re holding right now, there are no assurances you can provide at this point that there are no other classified documents out there, any other office [inaudible]?”

Jean-Pierre: “Again, this is an ongoing process, so I’m going to let the process continue. It is being reviewed by the Department of Justice and I’m just going to leave it there.”
