Kirby: There's a lot to your question, so I want you bear with me for just a second…the national security decision making process does not require, in fact should not require, cabinet-level officials being the sole people in the room making decisions on any given day.

Reporter: President Trump's lawyers today asserted that he should be immune from prosecution. What is [Biden's] opinion on the Constitution on this matter? Should presidents be immune for official actions?

Jean-Pierre: I get why you're asking the question, I see why you're asking the question. We're going to be really careful here given that there is an ongoing case, so not going to comment. Gotta be super careful.
