White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre<\/a> appeared to grow frustrated Tuesday with reporter questions about President Joe Biden\u2019s COVID-19 testing regimen.<\/p>\n

During the White House press briefing, CBS News correspondent Christina Ruffini pressed Jean-Pierre on the “cadence” of Biden\u2019s COVID testing in the wake of First Lady Jill Biden contracting the virus.<\/p>\n

Though Jean-Pierre noted that Biden had tested negative Monday evening and mentioned him getting the same results Tuesday morning, Ruffini followed up with more questions in an attempt to figure out Biden\u2019s exact COVID-19 testing schedule.<\/p>\n

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE BRISTLES WHEN QUESTIONED ON BIDEN’S AGE, STAFF TREATING HIM ‘LIKE A TODDLER’: ‘RIDICULOUS’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Ruffini went down a line of questioning that suggested Jean-Pierre was withholding pertinent information about Biden\u2019s routine. She began the tense exchange flagged by Mediaite<\/a> by first asking, “Can you explain why you can\u2019t share or won\u2019t share the cadence of the president\u2019s testing with us? It seems like a pretty basic question.”<\/p>\n

Jean-Pierre replied, “I mean, yeah, I \u2014 It has \u2014 it has nothing to not share the cadence. We\u2026”<\/p>\n

Gathering her thoughts, she said, “I just shared with you \u2013\u00a0yesterday he took a test, and it was negative. Today, he took a test, and it was negative. The CDC does not recommend testing<\/a> every day after close contact. That is not my \u2013”<\/p>\n

Not satisfied with that answer, Ruffini interrupted Jean-Pierre, stating, “Right, but since you\u2019re telling us he tested\u2026 I’m just trying to apply logic here. You told us the times he tested previously, so it would be helpful if we know going forward.”<\/p>\n

Jean-Pierre shot back, “Because it already happened, my friend. It already happened.” Pushing through the crosstalk, she added, “It already happened, right? Right? So therefore, I can tell you that he took the test because it already happened, right?”<\/p>\n

BIDEN’S RETURN TO INDOOR MASKING DRAWS SCORN ONLINE: ‘SUCH NONSENSE FEARMONGERING’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Ruffini continued to press, though the government official continued to speak over her. Jean-Pierre said, “I \u2014 it is up to the physician and in close consultation with the physician. The guidance from CDC recommends<\/a> that\u2026 someone with a close contact does not have to test regularly or every day.”<\/p>\n

The reporter persisted, stating, “No, I get that but \u2013” but the press secretary continued, saying, “OK, well, then there should be \u2014 there should be no confusion. We just explained that he tested \u2014 I just explained he tested yesterday. He tested \u2014”<\/p>\n

Ruffini interjected again: “No, there\u2019s no confusion. I was just wondering if we could have an explanation as to why you don\u2019t want to share\u2026”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I just explained it,” Jean-Pierre shot back, adding, “I literally just explained it.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

After one last push from another reporter to answer Ruffini’s question, Jean-Pierre said, “I just did. In close consultation with the physician. That\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen. The physician is going to decide when the testing is going to happen. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s the answer.”<\/p>\n

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
