Karine Jean-Pierre pressed on honesty after repeatedly claiming Biden would not pardon his son

"You were asked about the president pardoning his son and you said, 'It's a no. It will be a no. It's a no,'" AP White House correspondent Zeke Miller said, recounting Jean-Pierre's statements. 

"I'm wondering if you would like to explain to us, to the American people, really, why the information you provided turned out not to be true," Miller said. 

"When you look at the statement, it's pretty comprehensive," Jean-Pierre said, referring to Biden's full statement, adding that the "circumstances have changed." 

"No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter's cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son - and that is wrong," Biden said. 

Miller also reminded Jean-Pierre of promises that she made when she first became White House press secretary. 

"In your first briefing here as press secretary, you committed to speaking 'in a transparent way, in a truthful way, and in an honest way,'" Miller told Jean-Pierre.
