Watch as Karine Jean-Pierre holds a White House press briefing on Thursday 6 April.

She took questions on the same week that former US president Donald Trump was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

“So first, I have to say this. It’s an ongoing case, so we’re just not going to comment on the case specifically itself,” she said at a press briefing.

She was also seen joking with reports on Tuesday that she “loved” questions regarding Mr Trump being asked “in different ways”.
