Fox News White House reporter questions Jean-Pierre's ‘moral clarity'
Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich cast doubt on the motives behind former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's decision to leave the Democratic Party and release a new book about her time working for former President Biden. 'I just think it's interesting that she's saying she wants to, you know, move away from the partisanship of things because I remember when Karine Jean-Pierre suggested that all the videos of Joe Biden at his worst were cheap fakes and deepfakes and misinformation when they were, in fact, the video that we as a press corps collected on site, certainly not the product of AI,' Heinrich said during a discussion on the cable channel about Jean-Pierre's announcement. Heinrich, who covered Biden's White House for Fox and frequently sparred with Jean-Pierre over Biden's health and other issues, suggested she found it convenient the former White House spokesperson has found 'moral clarity' after leaving her position. 'I find it hard to look upon that without some deep questions,' she said. 'So I will read the book and keep an open mind, but it's gonna be interesting.' The reporter and anchor's comments were first highlighted by Mediate. Promotional materials for Jean-Pierre's book said it will be a 'groundbreaking, revelatory assessment of America's broken two-party system.' But the former White House press secretary's plans are being met with widespread scorn. Jean-Pierre was on the leading edge of the White House's defense against questions about Biden's mental acuity and stamina punctuated by his decision to step aside in the 2024 presidential race. Several books and news reports published since Biden left office have detailed his decline as well as extra steps taken by those around him to aid his schedule and travel. President Trump and Republicans have accused top aides and longtime Democrats like Jean-Pierre of a 'cover up' of Biden's health, while the president this week ordered an investigation of Biden's decision making while in office. Biden forcefully pushed back against the probe in a statement, saying he 'made the decisions during my presidency' and calling Trump's claims 'nothing more than a distraction.'

The Saddest Houston Restaurant Closings to Know This June
Houston is entering its summer season, and while there are many anticipated and new restaurants, there are just as many closing. Owners continue to cite a challenging economy as the reason behind their closures, while others are still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Beryl and last year's other weather disasters. Here are some of the most noteworthy and heartbreaking closings this month. The list is by no means comprehensive. Have information on another closing? Send all tips to houston@ Bistro Menil Chef Greg Martin, the owner behind Bistro Menil, announced on social media that he is closing the French restaurant in Montrose after service on Sunday, June 22. Martin opened the restaurant roughly 10 years ago, naming it after the Menil Collection, one of Houston's most lauded museums. Many diners, especially those who are gluten-sensitive or have celiac disease, have lamented the closure. 'The Celiac and gluten free [sic] community need you,' said one diner on Facebook. 'The 2 celiacs in our family shall miss this safe space to dine, have dessert and never ever experienced [sic] cross contamination,' wrote another. Martin did not immediately respond to Eater's request for comment, but said in his post that it was 'time to conclude this chapter.' He thanked Houstonians in his post for their 'unwavering support' throughout the years. Houston's French restaurant scene has experienced a series of tough blows over the past year, with restaurants like PS-21 and Eau Tour closing. But there have been some wins, too. More modern French restaurants fused with Houston-friendly and global flavors (think Creole and 'Texan'), however, have emerged on the scene, including chef Aaron Bludorn's Perseid, which opened in Hotel Saint Augustine in January, and Chardon in the Thompson Hotel. Both have seemed well-received by Houston diners. Artisans Jacques Fox, the chef-owner of Artisans, shocked Houston diners when he announced on Thursday, May 29, that he was closing the French restaurant that same day after 14 years in business. The restaurant originally opened in Midtown in February 2012 and later relocated to the greater Uptown area on Westheimer Road in December 2023, serving what Fox described as 'innovative, eclectic French cuisine.' Fox thanked Artisans' loyal customers, suppliers, partners, and staff. 'This is a difficult farewell for me and my investors, but we will always treasure the memories and experiences created at Artisans,' he wrote. Fox did not explain the reason for the closure, but he's expressed to Eater in the past that the changing dynamics of the dining scene, particularly in Houston, had become challenging. He said he mourned the days when people truly spent time dining and enjoying a meal. Leisurely lunches, particularly after the pandemic, had become a thing of the past, which led to restaurants strategizing ways to draw them in with power lunches and prix fixe meals. Thai Village Rice Village recently lost an institution and one of its longstanding Thai restaurants on Saturday, May 31. The owners of Thai Village announced the closure in a release shared on Facebook, thanking customers for their support. The restaurant, with its bright neon sign, served up a menu of Thai classics, including crispy egg rolls, soft spring rolls, fried rice, curries, and stir-fries. Rudi Lechner's Restaurant Rudi Lechner's Restaurant in Westchase, one of Houston's only German restaurants, closed in May after nearly 50 years in business, according to a report. The initial owner, Rudi Lechner, opened the restaurant in 1976 but sold it a few years ago after retiring. Jay Luchun, owner of nearby events venue Chateau Crystale, purchased the restaurant from him and kept everything largely the same, including the staff. He told Westchase Today he felt a responsibility to Rudi's loyal workers. Sixes and Sevens Montrose bar Sixes and Sevens went out with a bang on Sunday, May 25, hosting a final party to say its goodbyes after five years in business. Owner Blake Harris, who also owns Rudyards and Gold Tooth Tony's, told the Houston Chronicle that the closure is due to high competition in the area. He's hinted at possibly opening something in its place. Sign up for our newsletter.
