President Joe Biden was not taking questions about the appointment of a special counsel.
Biden was with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio in the Oval Office on Friday morning.
After a photo op, reporters attempted to ask the president about the investigation into classified documents discovered at the Penn Biden Center and his home in Wilmington, Delaware.
As reporters shouted questions, aides attempted to usher them out of the room.
At one point, the prime minister leaned forward to shake Bidenâs hand.
Biden then sat back in his chair and smiled as his aides continued to try to get reporters to leave the room.
Watch the video below:
At one point, Biden pointed at a coffee table and said something to a reporter.
âSorry, sir,â he responded.
Biden laughed before he was heard saying, âDonât get hurt, fellas. Donât get hurt.â
One White House pool report noted the situation was âextremely chaotic in the room and nearly impossible to make out the shouted questions.â
Biden did answer questions about the case earlier this week.
On Tuesday, he told reporters his lawyers âdid what they should have done. They immediately called the ⌠turned them over to the Archiveâ after classified documents were discovered in an office at the Penn Biden Center.
âI was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office,â he continued. âBut I donât know whatâs in the documents. My lawyers have not suggested I ask what documents they were.â
And on Thursday, he faced a question after it was revealed classified documents were found in the garage of his Wilmington residence.
Fox Newsâ Peter Doocy asked, âClassified materials next to your Corvette? What were you thinking?â
âBy the way, my Corvetteâs in a locked garage, OK? So itâs not like theyâre sitting out in the street,â Biden responded.
He added, âPeople know I take classified documents and classified material seriously. I also said weâre cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Departmentâs review.â
