During an appearance on ‘CNN This Morning’ on Thursday, KJP made it clear to network producers that she would prefer to be interviewed by Lemon’s co-host Poppy Harlow.
‘The White House asked for her not to be interviewed by Don,’ a source told the New York Post.
Although the reasoning behind her request is not clear, insiders believe that it may be due to Lemon’s recent on-air gaffes or down to previous tense on-air exchanges in which Lemon grilled Biden’s press secretary over his mental and physical fitness.
The White House has denied making such a request.
