Reporter: Does [Biden] have any reaction to CIA director William Burns meeting with Jeffrey Epstein in 2014? This is obviously after Epstein had served time for a sex crime and registered as a sex offender.

Jean-Pierre: I'm just not going to comment on that from here.

Jean-Pierre: The active military [being sent to southern border]…is personnel that's performing administrative task…data entry and warehouse support, so they can help free up the CBP…they're not going to interact with migrants.

Reporter: If the border is secure, as the administration has said, then why would we need to send fifteen hundred active duty US Troops down there?

Jean-Pierre: Because we need more work, we need more work needs to be done. We put forth a comprehensive immigration legislation, and republicans in congress have refused to act.

Reporter: You said yesterday that when it comes to illegal migration, you've seen it come down more than ninety percent? Because CBP is telling us the number is one hundred and thirty-six thousand people more this fiscal year so far.

Jean-Pierre: I'm about to answer you if the dramatics would come down just a little bit…I was speaking to the parolee program..the data has shown it has gone down by more than ninety percent.
