FOX News White House correspondent Peter Doocy followed up on a confusing back-and-forth at yesterday’s briefing that seemed to contradict President Biden’s statement earlier this week denying a Wall Street Journal report that the Department of Justice plans to pay “damages” to illegal immigrant families who were serparated at the border under the Trump administration.

“What about giving people who are coming here the right way money?” Doocy asked deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at Friday’s WH briefing.

“Why would we be giving people who are coming here the right way money?” Jean-Pierre asked.

“Why are you giving people who came here the wrong way money?” Doocy replied.

“I don’t understand the question,” Jean-Pierre said. “We should be giving people money who are just coming through?”

“You’re giving people who immigrated here illegally money,” Doocy repeated.

“That’s the Department of Justice, you’re going to have to ask them that question.”
