Karine Jean-Pierre hit from all sides as White House 'correspondents erupt' at briefing: 'Frustration evident'

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s fiery back-and-forth with members of the press was a hot topic Monday.

Reporters largely focused on reports that Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurologist from Walter Reed Military Medical Center who specializes in Parkinson's disease, met several times with Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, in the White House over the past year.

But during the daily press briefing, Jean-Pierre repeatedly would not confirm Cannard's name as the visiting doctor to reporters, citing security and privacy concerns despite the fact that Cannard was listed in the public visitor logs.

Multiple reporters, particularly CBS’ Ed O’Keefe, quickly called her out for avoiding naming the doctor.

The two got into a lengthy, tense back and forth, with O'Keefe getting an assist from NBC correspondent Kelly O'Donnell, who also stressed that Cannard's visitor logs are public.

"There's no reason to go back and forth with me in this aggressive way," Jean-Pierre scolded the reporters.

"Well, we are miffed around here about whathas been shared with the press corps about him," an exasperated O'Keefe said. Several other reporters went on to grill Jean-Pierre about the name of the doctor and the nature of his visits.

Jean-Pierre addressed her exchange with O’Keefe later during the press briefing, saying, "I do take offense to what Ed alluded to… to say that I'm holding information or allude to anything else is not [fair]. It's really, really unfair."

She further characterized the pushback as "personal attacks."

Some White House correspondents later commented about the exchanges on their respective networks. CNN’s Kayla
