How convenient.
AP reporter Zeke Miller asked KJP if Biden will return the millions he received from Sam Bankman-Fried.
“The president received campaign donations…from [SBF] and many prominent Democrats did as well. Will the president return that donation? Does he call on all politicians who got campaign donations that may have come from customer money to return [them]?”
Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment.
