Trump brought "detailed set of questions" to Oval Office meeting with Biden, White House says

From CNN's DJ Judd

President-elect Donald Trump brought “a detailed set of questions” to Wednesday’s Oval Office meeting with President Joe Biden, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.

Jean-Pierre said the meeting was “indeed, very cordial, very gracious, and substantive.”

The press secretary declined to say what questions Trump raised during the nearly two-hour meeting, but told reporters during Wednesday’s White House press briefing that Biden “certainly looked forward to the meeting, appreciated the conversation and answered any questions that the president-elect had, offered up his thoughts.”

Jean-Pierre said she spoke with Biden in the Oval herself before joining today’s briefing, who “wanted you all to know that the president-elect, again, was gracious,” but described the discussion as “a private conversation.”

“I think by the length of the meeting, (that) tells you that they had an in-depth conversation on an array of issues,” she said.

And, moving forward, Biden “is always going to, obviously, keep that line of communication open to the president-elect,” she added.

In a followup exchange, Jean-Pierre said Vice President Kamala Harris “did not attend the meeting between the two presidents this morning.”
