special counsel, but the white house is trying to say that they re trying to answer as many questions as possible. le. i ve been in here almost every day since we got back from mexico city, standing here taking your questions at length, so we re not avoiding anything here. you ve heard from the president at least twice, and we have put forth multiple statements from the white house counsel s office. reporter: but, still, there are so many details the white house has not provided. for the white house s part, they re trying to proceed undeterred with their schedule. you saw president biden here yesterday hosting the japanese prime minister kishida. tomorrow he s traveling to atlanta, where he s set to become the first sitting president to speak at a service at ebenezer baptist church. that s the church that was home to martin luther king jr. the white house is trying to continue with business even though this is dominating so much of the conversation. of course, the officials here at
