Jean-Pierre claimed ignorance, saying no one was aware of it.<\/p>\n<p>She goes on to claim that Biden believes in \u201cthe rule of law, in the independence of the Justice Department investigations,\u201d and that those investigations should be \u201cfree from political influence.\u201d Such a statement contradicts the Justice Department\u2019s cherry-picking of cases to pursue, such as labeling parents as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/crime-and-justice\/commentary\/are-parents-being-tagged-domestic-terrorists-the-fbi-justice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">domestic terrorists<\/a>\u201d but not investigating the mounting evidence suggesting the Biden family\u2019s business ties to China.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Doocy of Fox News noted that Jean-Pierre and the Biden administration, who are usually vocal about their contempt towards the former president, were oddly silent on the events and asked if this means they consider him to be a political threat. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEhh, I don\u2019t talk about Trump all the time,\u201d Jean-Pierre said in a snarky response.<\/p>\n<p>Doocy also noted that if the White House doesn\u2019t provide more comment or explanation for the raid, Republican accusations of the weaponization of the Justice Department may become public sentiment. <\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre not only refused to answer questions about the events at Mar-a-Lago from Doocy, but from the entire press corps. She replied to questions by saying she is \u201cjust not going to comment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre\u2019s unwillingness to answer any questions related to the raid, and her inability to even acknowledge concerns about the legitimacy of the Justice Department, denies the American people the transparency they desperately need at this time. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Elise McCue is an intern at The Federalist and student majoring in multimedia journalism and professional and technical writing.
