White House Press Secretary Accused of Misleading Statements on Migrant Deaths and Border Funding

Despite fact-checks disputing the claims, Jean-Pierre stands by the statements and refuses to amend them.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been accused of making misleading statements about the death of three migrants and the Republican position on border funding.
The White House and the Department of Justice initially blamed Texas for the migrant deaths, claiming state officials blocked Border Patrol agents from accessing the area where the migrants died.
However, it was later revealed that the migrants had already died before Border Patrol agents tried to access the area.
Jean-Pierre also made claims about Republicans attempting to reduce the number of Border Patrol agents, which have been disputed by fact-checkers.
Despite these discrepancies, Jean-Pierre has defended the White House's statements and refused to amend them.
