Reporter: The arms dealer that [Biden] freed in a prisoner swap, Victor Bout, is now, according to the Wall Street Journal, selling weapons to the Houthis. Does [Biden] think that is a problem?

Jean-Pierre: I cant confirm that report today…securing the release of Americans who are being held hostage and wrongfully detained is a big priority; is a priority for this administration.

[Griner was imprisoned for violating Russian drug law, not being 'held hostage' or wrongfully detained]

Reporter: The administration has money to send to Lebanon without congress coming back, but congress does have to come back to approve money to send to people iun North Carolina. Do I have that right?

Jean-Pierre; [Biden] and [Harris] has had a robust, whole of government response to this…we've taken this very seriously. More than two hundred million dollars that we have provided to the impacted areas, but instead people want to do disinformation/misinformation, which is dangerous. Which is dangerous, because when folks on the ground hear that, they may not want to ask for the help they need.

Reporter: If [Biden] has money for people in Lebanon right now without congress coming back, what does it say about his values, there is not enough money right now for people in North Carolina who need it? That's not misinformation.

Jean-Pierre: No, that is; your whole premise of the question is misinformation, sir.

Reporter: Which part? Is there money to send to Lebanon right now?

Jean-Pierre: The way you are asking the question is misinformation.
