Aides to US President Joe Biden last autumn were preparing a ‘coup’ in the White House to remove his administration’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
About this writes the New York Post.
According to the tabloid, high-ranking advisers Biden connected for this purpose people from the outside.
It is noted that the White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and the wife of Biden’s personal lawyer Bob Bauer, Anita Dunn, knew about what was going on and tried to find a ‘graceful way out’ for Karine to avoid the prospect of dismissal against her will.
However, by December, the publication said, Dunn acknowledged that the current press secretary was ‘securely entrenched’ in her position.
The CIA previously fired a female employee after a complaint of sexual harassment on the job.
