Peter Doocy Has Karine Jean-Pierre in Stitches with 'Four Letter Word' Question

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy consistently poses challenges for White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

After the revelation that the FBI had discovered six additional classified "items" during a 12-hour search of President Joe Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, residence on Friday, Jean-Pierre probably had an uneasy feeling as she called on Doocy during Monday's press briefing. Jean-Pierre, who is a spokesperson for the White House, likely had to address the recent developments and provide clarification on the situation.

Doocy, a reporter, asked Jean-Pierre a question related to the discovery of the additional classified materials. He asked, “When you found out that the FBI had located even more classified materials in Wilmington, which four-letter word did you use?” The question was likely intended to elicit a candid response from Jean-Pierre and gain insight into her initial reaction to the news.

In one of the most light-hearted moments shared between them, a broad smile crossed Jean-Pierre's face as she laughed out loud at the unexpected question. "Oh my goodness, Peter," she replied, chuckling again. Jean-Pierre's reaction suggests that she found the question amusing and was able to have a sense of humor about the situation.

Unfortunately, the light-hearted moment didn't last for the press secretary. As Jean-Pierre, the spokesperson for the White House, called on Doocy during Monday's press briefing, she likely had to address the recent developments and provide clarification on the situation. The FBI had recently discovered six additional classified "items" during a 12-hour search of President Joe Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, residence on Friday, which would have been a topic of concern for Jean-Pierre.

In the video that captures their full exchange, Doocy moved on to a more serious set of questions, which Jean-Pierre had likely anticipated when she first called on him. Doocy asked about President Biden's intentions for the next presidential election, “President Biden is still intending to run for re-election in 2024, right?” Jean-Pierre responded, “I’ll just repeat what the President said after the midterm election which is he intends to run. I’m going to be very careful from here, as you know, because we are covered by the Hatch Act and I’m not going to speak further to this process.” According to the Justice Department, the Hatch Act forbids federal "employees from engaging in partisan political activity while on duty, in a federal facility or using federal property."

Doocy then asked, “Is there a precedent for people running for president after FBI agents search their sock drawer?” The question was likely intended to be provocative and draw attention to the recent search of President Biden's residence. Jean-Pierre did not respond to that question.

Doocy's next question was more direct: "The House Oversight Committee chairman says this document situation has all the characteristics of a potential coverup. Is President Biden involved in a coverup?" Jean-Pierre replied, "We've been very clear here from this administration, the President has been very clear that, um, he takes this very seriously, when it comes to classified information. … And that his team has been fully cooperative," before directing Doocy to the White House counsel for more information. The question about a potential coverup was a serious accusation that Jean-Pierre had to address.

The press secretary was put in a difficult position, having to balance the need to provide information and answer questions while also being mindful of the legal restrictions placed on her by the Hatch Act.

Overall, the exchange between Jean-Pierre and Doocy highlighted the seriousness of the situation regarding the discovery of classified materials and the need for transparency and cooperation in addressing the matter.
