White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt blased CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Monday after the reporter demanded evidence for President Trump’s claim that pardons signed by former President Biden were void.
Collins questioned Leavitt during the White House press briefing about Trump’s post on Truth Social, in which he made the case that some of Biden’s last-minute pardons were “void” and “vacant” because they were allegedly signed by auto-pen without his knowledge.
The ratings-challenged network’s chief White House correspondent and primetime anchor pressed Leavitt if there was any “evidence” supporting Trump’s claim, to which she shot back: “You’re a reporter, you should find out.”
