DOJ can’t verify Secret Service agent’s exchange with Brian Karem, whose White House credentials were suspended
But on Wednesday, Justice Department attorneys informed a federal judge that there is no written statement from the agent, whose view of the confrontation could have proved critical in deciphering what transpired on July 10.
Karem sought a court order today to immediately restore the pass, the latest chapter in the ongoing confrontation between the Trump administration and the media. Karem sat in the first row during the hearing, at one time shaking his head as Burnham recounted the Trump administration’s version of events.
“The reality is that the White House press corps is populated by reporters who are aggressive questioners of the President and White House officials, many of whom are extremely critical of the president and his policies,” a team of Justice Department lawyers wrote in a brief responding to Karem’s lawsuit.
Karem responded, “Hey, come on over and talk to me, brother, or we can go outside and have a long conversation.” But Boutrous disputed that account, saying that far from trying to escalate the situation, Karem was merely trying to talk to Gorka and even extended his arm for a handshake. Although a White House staffer can be heard asking participants to leave, it was a fairly routine instruction that was eventually followed.
