Watch live: White House news briefing

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is delivering a press briefing Monday afternoon.

It is the first briefing to follow a busy weekend.

In a live address from the Oval Office on Sunday night, President Biden implored the nation to reject violence in the wake of the assassination attempt against former President Trump.

The two presidents spoke by phone Sunday, as did first lady Jill Biden and former first lady Melania Trump. The president later stated, “I’m sincerely grateful that he’s doing well and recovering.”

Biden said the FBI is leading the investigation into the shooting. He ordered a review of Secret Service protections for the Republican National Convention as it opens in Milwaukee.

The White House briefing is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. EDT.

Sec Mayorkas: “I’m here to answer questions, but I can’t answer any questions.”

what is even the point of having these anymore? LYING LIARS ALWAYS LIE.

[dougyfresh]

Do you feel protected in your own country if we can't protect our presidential candidates?

What's with the neon green striped suit? Is it Saint Patricks Day?

15:42 there’s the cover. He’s saying “don’t ever expect to get any ‘motive’ because we have a precedent to point to in Las Vegas.” He wouldn’t have brought that up unless it was a planned talking point. That was not impromptu.

[kathyfrazer]

she is so condescending and is unable to answer anything, why bother with these at all

[GTPInternational]

She is the biggest divisionist ever!!!!

[anthonyheiden]

Independent review guys. I feel better…NOT

[imkadosh]

How can your prayers be heard by God when you are defiantly sinning by going against God’s will?
Every day your agenda is against God and His word.
Tell me… what do you say about this?

[firstnlast]

4:36 what he meant to say is “because President Trump demanded security for RFK Jr, we had no choice but to provide it”

Watch it be an independent investigation by a private company owned by Black Rock, State Street, and Vanguard

[eriksforestryvision]

"I have 100% confidence" y'all are full of it...

[scottyheav]

Has she ever actually answered a question?

[jakesake]

These idiots didn't answer a single question. Why even bother, I you refuse to answer anything?

[charrie]

Does this mean you will stop blaming the previous administration for all of the mistakes for current administration?

[firstnlast]

22:16 “Everything is moving so quickly”… except the ‘independent investigation’ that is.

[jostuart]

Can you tell us how long will you continue to make DEI picks for our nations highest protection service for government officials and ex-presidents?

[saddletramp]

Mayorkas has full confidence in the Secret Service because the SS did exactly what they were ordered to do.

[stephenloman]

Tearing apart America for political points is all American politics has been for as long as I can remember.

5:04 interesting that the USSS agent in charge, mayor of Milwaukee, Chief of Milwaukee PD ALL said there’s no security change to their “18-month” plan for the RNC at their press conference yesterday, and yet here’s Mayorkas saying they’re beefing it up. Why aren’t they on the same page?
