It took a few minutes but reporters in the White House briefing today finally went after KJP over the Hunter Biden whistleblower report.
Specifically they repeatedly asked about the smoking gun text message that we posted here. But KPJ kept stonewalling them over and over and that just led to more questions from different reporters.
Here is 3 minutes and 35 seconds of Karine Jean-Pierre refusing to answer any questions about Hunter Biden.

I’m honestly surprised that this line of questioning took this long to complete. Normally reporters just roll over when KJP won’t answer a question. I suspect that the exchange probably goes longer than many of you want to watch, and this must be a record when it comes to reporters pressing KJP on a Republican-revealed issue like the Hunter Biden Whistleblower report. If only White House reporters were this eager on all the other issues which Biden must be held to account.
Similarly, reporters asked AG Garland today about the claims in the whistleblower report, who denied everything and played the victim:
Garland responds to the IRS whistleblower who said U.S. Attorney David Weiss was told not to bring charges against Hunter Biden:

Garland: "Some have chose to attack the integrity of the Justice Department by claiming that we do not treat cases alike. This constitutes an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy… Nothing could be further from the truth." pic.twitter.com/fHkHPUiNyn
