WASHINGTON — President Biden’s top aides devised a covert plan last autumn to replace White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by enlisting external allies to encourage her departure, according to sources.
Jean-Pierre, who broke barriers in May 2022 as the first black and openly gay individual in the role, had a tendency to recite scripted responses from a binder during press briefings, which was perceived as lackluster support for Biden’s upcoming re-election campaign.
Anita Dunn, the de facto White House communications chief, initiated discussions with prominent Democrats to advise Jean-Pierre that it was time to move on, as reported by The Post.
One source revealed that Dunn, with the backing of White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, orchestrated efforts to persuade Jean-Pierre to consider leaving voluntarily.
Despite the push for her exit, Jean-Pierre remained steadfast in her commitment to stay until the election, as per sources familiar with the situation.
While Jean-Pierre’s tenure seems secure, concerns persist about her reliance on prepared notes and her ability to engage in spontaneous dialogue to advocate effectively for Biden.
Responding to the allegations, White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates refuted the claims, emphasizing Jean-Pierre’s dedication and the unwavering support from Zients and Dunn.
White House Communications Drama Unfolds
Amidst the corridors of power in the White House, a tale of intrigue and power dynamics is playing out. De facto White House communications chief Anita Dunn, aged 66 and married to Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer, orchestrated a plan to usher in prominent Democrats to convey a message to Karine Jean-Pierre, aged 49, that it was time for her to consider moving on.
Rejection of Offer and Loyalty
In a twist of events, Jean-Pierre turned down an unexpected offer to lead EMILYs List, a significant Democratic organization that supports female candidates advocating for expanded abortion rights. When NBC News covered this offer in February, Jean-Pierre reaffirmed her commitment to the president and her dedication to her current role.
Intrigue and Speculation
The initial offer from EMILYs List to Jean-Pierre and its subsequent disclosure to NBC sparked speculation within the White House. Unsubstantiated theories circulated, hinting at Dunn’s involvement in the offer and Jean-Pierre’s role in its exposure. EMILYs List remained silent on the matter.
Support and Endorsement
By December, Dunn seemed to hav

Index – Abroad – Russia’s war in Ukraine – Index’s Thursday news summary
A Russian attack against any member of NATO would end in Russia’s inevitable defeat, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski declared on Thursday in the lower house of the Warsaw parliament, in his speech describing the goals of Polish diplomacy this year according to MTI.
According to Sikorski, it is not the West that should be worried about a possible conflict with Russia, but the other way around. It is worth reminding this not to create a sense of danger in the Russians, but to show that an attack by Russia against any member of the North Atlantic Alliance would end with Moscow’s “inevitable defeat” – declared the hea

‘Pro-Trump Protesters’ in front of the Supreme Court[로이터=사진제공]
On the 25th, the Federal Supreme Court heard a hearing on former President Donald Trump’s claim of immunity related to accusations of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election by former President Donald Trump, who was nominated as the Republican presidential candidate.
Previously, when former special prosecutor Jack Smith indicted him on charges of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election, former President Trump asked the court for an interpretation, claiming that his actions while in office were even subject to immunity after leaving his job.
However, the federal court in Washington DC did not accept Trump’s argument, ruling that immunity does not apply to a president who leaves office while in office, so Trump appealed to the Supreme Court and asked for the trial court’s ruling to be set aside. prevent
Accordingly, former President Trump, who is trying to return to the White House before the upcoming presidential election in November, is in a position where his political fate will be determined by the decision of the Supreme Court , drawing attention to the Supreme Court hearing on this. Day.

Dovish Bank of Japan paves the way for further yen depreciation, analysts say – 160 yen possibility – Bloomberg
Market participants view the Bank of Japan’s decision to leave most of its current policy unchanged at its monetary policy meeting on the 26th as a dovish move, and analysts and strategists say it is likely to lead to further yen depreciation. pointed out.
Some strategists predict that the yen could weaken to 160 yen to the dollar. Other strategists say credit spreads could widen. Many believe that the possibility of foreign exchange intervention by Japan’s monetary authorities has increased. Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda will hold a press conference at 3:30 p.m.
Views of market participants
●Mr. Calvin Yao of Blue Edge Advisors
- The outcome of the Bank of Japan meeting is nothing but sushi.It’s just a rice ball with just rice.
- With Japanese government bonds losing their upward momentum, the yen is once again at the mercy of foreign interest rates.
●Yujiro Goto, Chief Foreign Exchange Strategist, Nomura Securities
- Regarding the language in the Bank of Japan’s statement regarding government bond purchases, the implementation is in line with the policy decided at the March meeting, so it may be more of an omission than a deletion.
- Preliminary reports had raised expectations for discussions on reducing government bond purchases, but the statement was quite simple.
- I don’t know how strictly the annotation part is handled, but isn’t it a clear enough change to delete it?
- Although some parts are difficult to read, the perception is that there has been no clear change, and yen selling is occurring due to government bond buybacks and the passage of events.
- Governor Ueda’s press conference is also attracting attention, but since the dollar and yen have passed the Bank of Japan event, they have exceed
