Watch: White House news briefing

Recorded earlier

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

It was 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.
