Sean Spicer Predicts Karine Jean-Pierre Is Still ‘Team Biden' and New Book Will ‘Stick a Knife' in White House Colleagues
'It sure sounds like she's going to stick a knife in the people who pushed Biden out,' Spicer said on a new episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show.' 'It sounds like she's still Team Biden, and we'll get a bunch of nonsense about how he could have [won the 2024 election].'
Spicer cited publisher Hachette's press release that 'Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,' is about the 'betrayal' of Democratic Party leaders who convinced Biden to step down from the 2024 race and back Vice President Kamala Harris instead.
Watch the full segment below:
Kelly added, 'Color me curious about her insider details — less interested in her definition of what it means to be independent.'
The one self-identified Democrat on Wednesday's 'Megyn Kelly' panel, Dan Turrentine, who co-hosts 'Morning Meeting' with Spicer on the 2Way platform, echoed Kelly's thoughts.
'I'll be curious about her angle,' Turrentine said. 'She had real tension with people inside the White House who didn't think she was qualified. There were concerns she struggled to respond without reading from the briefing book.'
Spicer, who served as Trump's press secretary for only a few months in 2017 before going on to 'Dancing With the Stars,' argued that, 'Jean-Pierre was the most epically unqualified person to hold that position.'
He added, 'No one in America wants her political analysis.'
Jean-Pierre's book follows CNN anchor Jake Tapper's 'Original Sin,' about the alleged cover-up over Biden's cognitive decline. Spicer quipped, 'The pitch was probably: 'If Jake Tapper can sell a book, why can't I be independent?
'Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,' is scheduled to be released in October.

Rove: Trump benefits from Mamdani campaign
Republican strategist Karl Rove posited Tuesday that President Trump could stand to benefit from Zohran Mamdani's campaign to the New York City mayor's office, arguing that the president could campaign against the young assemblymember's democratic socialism during the midterms. 'Trump is looking at it in a national picture and saying if New York has a democratic socialist mayor, and if you add one in Minneapolis, for example, we can run against them in the 2026 midterms,' Rove said on Fox News's 'America's Newsroom,' referencing Omar Fateh, a democratic socialist mayoral candidate who won the endorsement of Minnesota's Democratic Farmer Labor Party. 'Say, 'Look, here's what the new Democratic Party is all about. It's about free everything, democratic socialists, blah, blah, blah, blah.'' Mamdani embarked this week on a five-borough tour campaigning against the president, attempting to link him to former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who is running in the mayor's race as an independent. Rove noted that the anti-Trump crusade could benefit the young Democrat. 'Look, it works for him because he is the frontrunner, and this allows him to eat up time,' Rove said. 'It leaves his opponents trying to catch up with him.' Rove added that Cuomo and other Democrats opposing Mamdani needed to find a way to shake up the race. 'The way to shake it up is to find a way to say, 'I'm the normal Democrat who can actually run this place, and that guy over there is extreme,'' he said.

Schumer taps controversial JFK scion Jack Schlossberg for America 250 Commission
US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tapped Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg – known for his attention-seeking social media tirades — to sit on the committee prepping America's 250th birthday bash Tuesday. Schlossberg will get one of the seats slotted for private citizens on the America 250 Commission as Schumer, a Brooklyn Democrat, claimed 'there's no better person' to go toe-to-toe with President Trump and his supporters on the panel. 'Why am I putting Jack there? We know that Donald Trump will try to aggrandize the whole thing and make it part of him and his ego,' the New York senator claimed in a social media video next to the 32-year-old political scion. 'There's no better person to push back on that than you, Jack.' Advertisement 3 Sen. Chuck Schumer and Jack Schlossberg appeared in a video Tuesday. Chuck Schumer / X 'And I know you will be there to make sure when we celebrate our 250th birthday we remember that America's a nation of justice, equal justice, of unity, E Pluribus Unum, of treating everyone with dignity.' The commission is supposed to be non-partisan and comprised of members appointed by House and Senate leadership from both political parties. Advertisement Trump administration cabinet leaders including US Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are all part of the commission. Four US Reps and four US senators are also among the group. Schlossberg, the son of former diplomat Caroline Kennedy, shook Schumer's hands and thanked him for the appointment. 'I wanna make sure we celebrate our country for all of its colors, there's no more important task than celebrating our history for the same of our future,' he said. Advertisement 3 Schlossberg arrives at the JFK Library, Sunday, May 4, 2025. AP A Schumer spokesperson confirmed the senator used his private citizen selection on Schlossberg. The sole grandson of JFK has grabbed attention over the past year for myriad bizarre and vulgar statements. He's questioned if Vice President JD Vance's wife, Usha Vance, is 'hotter' than his late grandmother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and mocking his own cousin, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines. Advertisement 'I have never met Cheryl Hines but if I did I'd tell her she looks super dehydrated,' he said on X late last month. 3 The commission allows for private citizens. Chuck Schumer / X Following his plush appointment, he took a shot at conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings. 'Scott Jennings rumor I heard – not sure if true – drinks own pee,' he said Wednesday morning.

Trump says DC will be ‘beacon' for other cities after crime crackdown, says he'll likely ask to extend authority over local cops
WASHINGTON — President Trump said Wednesday that he wants 'long-term extensions' on federal authority over DC police and plans to submit the request to Congress — vowing the capital will become a 'beacon' for New York and other cities after his crackdown. 'We're going to need a crime bill that we're going to be putting in, and it's going to pertain initially to DC,' Trump said while announcing this year's Kennedy Center honorees. Trump said his legislative request will include funding for the 'finest grasses' in city parks and asphalt for crumbling roads, along with expanded anti-crime powers. 3 Donald Trump speaks during an event at the Kennedy Center on August 13, 2025 in Washington, DC.

Pat Benic/UPI/Shutterstock The president asserted emergency control Monday over DC's 3,400-officer Metropolitan Police Department, citing high-profile violent crimes, but his power is limited to a 30-day period under the Home Rule Act of 1973 unless Congress authorizes an extension. 'We're going to want extensions,' Trump confirmed. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Tuesday demanded policy changes which would undo parts of DC code allowing judges to set aside jail time for defendants under 25, to release offenders after 15 years' incarceration, and to seal criminal records. Every morning, the NY POSTcast offers a deep dive into the headlines with the Post's signature mix of politics, business, pop culture, true crime and everything in between. Subscribe here! The city's elected mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, said in her own press availability that those proposed measures may be submitted to the DC Council. Bowser and DC Police Chief Pamela Smith have publicly welcomed Trump's surge of hundreds of federal law enforcement officers and National Guard members to temporarily support local police. 'We're going to do something, and that's going to serve as a beacon for New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and other places all over the country,' Trump said. 'Our whole country is going to be so different and so great — going to be clean and safe and beautiful, and people are going to love our flag more than they've ever loved it.'
