Not in article, but LiveNOW just mentioned that the ambassador's residence in Rome has a pool, private gardens, and a three-story wine cellar.

 

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is planning her next move after an expected Republican victory in November. Sources tell FOX Business that Pelosi wants President Biden to nominate her to become the next U.S. ambassador to Italy if the GOP takes the House majority in the midterm elections. Biden is holding the spot for the speaker, sources say, which is one reason he has yet to fill the position since taking office. Speculation earlier this year that a Pelosi ally and former Wall Street executive wanted the job has shifted with the increasing likelihood that the GOP takes the majority. So far, 101 Biden ambassador nominees have been confirmed by the Senate, but Biden has been slow to name ambassadors to several countries, including Italy. About a quarter (27%) of the 194 ambassador positions are currently without a Senate-confirmed official. Presidents typically reserve ambassador posts in the most desirable locations for the people who have helped propel them to the White House, such as political operatives and donors."

Raimondo [White House press conference]: This effort [Chips Act] will ensure the pipeline for these jobs will include people who have historically not had a chance to participate in this industry, including women, people of color, veterans, and people that live in rural areas. And that is explicitly required in statute.

Reporter: Does [Biden] believe that Trump can claim executive privilege for government documents that he took with him to Florida?

Jean-Pierre: Anything related to the independent investigation, again, independent investigation that's being done by the Department of Justice, we're not going to comment.

Reporter: If we are all in agreement that it is incorrect to say the 2020 election was stolen, what about the 2016 election?

Jean-Pierre: I'm not going to go back to where we were, or what happened in 2016. We're going to focus on the here and now.

Reporter: You tweeted in 2016, 'Trump stole an election', you tweeted, 'Brian Kemp stole an election'. If denying election results is extreme now, why not then?

Jean-Pierre: That comparison you made is just ridiculous. I was talking specifically at that time of what was happening with voting rights, and what was in danger of voting rights…I have said President Trump won the election of 2016…but we are talking about right now, let's not forget what happened on January 6th, 2021, we saw an insurrection, a mob, that was incited by the person who occupied this campus, this facility at that time. It was an attack on our democracy…people died that day.
