This letter from Ian Sams in reaction to Robert Hur’s findings is being questioned by the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA). These results came from a study of Joe Biden’s memory and mental health. Ian Sams wrote a message to the WHCA questioning the information they were giving out about Hur’s reports, and they replied.
Ian Sams, a spokesman for the White House Council Office, said on Tuesday that the news stories about Robert Hur’s results were “misinformation” and “false.”
Sams wrote in the letter, “When major mistakes happen in coverage, like basically lying about the results and conclusions of a federal investigation into the current President, they must be fixed right away.”
Ian Sams says that the news stories that said the president “willfully retained” secret papers were not true at all. He said on X that he sent a letter to the White House press corps outlining the facts that needed to be reported. He said that the long letter caused confusion, which led to false information.
It was Ian Sams’ letter to President Kelly O’Donnell of the WHCA, and she replied, “It is inappropriate for the White House to use internal pool distribution channels, primarily for logistics and the rapid sharing of need-to-know information, to spread generalized criticisms of news coverage.”
“The WHCA welcomes…further opportunities to ask to ask questions of the president,” O’Donnell said. She also said that the White House has never had problems with reporters or journalists, and if they had a problem with how or what they were reporting, they could talk to the reporter or journalist directly.
Even more people didn’t like Sams after a reporter questioned his qualifications, said he gave “factually incorrect” information, and basically said he wasn’t fit to be in charge and asked the White House counsel to take over.
