Photographer Captures Biden’s Cheat Sheet, Indicating Advance Knowledge of Reporter’s Question

During a joint press conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday, President Joe Biden was photographed holding a “cheat sheet” that appeared to show pre-approved questions from reporters, according to a report from The New York Post.

One of the notecards displayed “press conference prep,” while another provided Biden with the names, pictures, and affiliations of pre-selected journalists who would ask questions.

Surprisingly, the notecards even seemed to reveal Biden’s advanced knowledge of the questions that would be asked.

The photographed notecard identified Courtney Subramanian, a Los Angeles Times reporter, as the journalist who would pose the first question.

The card read, “How are YOU squaring YOUR domestic priorities — like reshoring semiconductors manufacturing — with alliance-based foreign policy?”

During the press conference, Biden called on Subramanian, although he did not say her last name despite the note card providing a phonetic spelling of it.

He stated, “Now we’re going to take some questions. The first question is from Courtney of the Los Angeles Times.”

Subramanian proceeded to ask, “Thank you, Mr. President. Your top economic priority has been to build up U.S. domestic manufacturing in competition with China. But your rules against expanding chip manufacturing in China is hurting South Korean companies that rely heavily on Beijing. Are you damaging a key ally in the competition with China to help your domestic politics ahead of the election?”

Although Subramanian’s question was not identical to the one on the notecard, neither the L.A. Times nor the White House have provided an explanation for the similarity in content, according to a report from The Blaze.
