Biden Briefed on Reporters Before News Conferences

From a story on politico.com by Kierra Frazier headlined “It’s normal for Biden to be briefed on reporters before news conference”:

The White House said that it was “entirely normal” for a president to be briefed about the journalists who would ask questions at news conferences, a day after President Joe Biden was seen holding a paper with what appeared to be a reporter’s question.

“It’s entirely normal for a president to be briefed on reporters who will be asking questions at a press conference and issues we expect they might ask about,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
