White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - in-town pool report #1a - attribution fix
This is a quote from Karoline Leavitt. Your pooler regrets the typo:
Leavitt: “The president spoke on this a little bit yesterday in the Oval Office. He said he always thought Joe Kent was a good guy. Obviously, [INAUDIBLE] has a commendable military record and experience. However, he was not someone who was involved in the Presidential Daily Brief, part of the president's intelligence briefings over the last several months, have not seen him here at the White House for quite some time. And the president feels it's deeply disappointing that after the president gave him an opportunity in this administration to serve the American people, that he would resign with a letter filled with falsehoods, accusing the president of the United States by being controlled by a foreign country — that's both insulting and laughable all at the same time. The president is the leader of the most powerful country [and] military in the world. Nobody tells him what to do. The president's decisions [are] based on what's in the best interest of this country.”
