Watch live: White House press briefing

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addresses reporters during the daily briefing at the White House on Monday, May 8, 2023.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is slated to hold a briefing with reporters Monday afternoon.

It comes after Attorney General Merrick Garland announced last week that he had elevated federal prosecutor David Weiss to the status of special counsel in the investigation into President Biden’s son, Hunter.

The appointment of Weiss as special counsel has drawn scrutiny from both sides of the aisle.

Monday’s event is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. EDT.
