The White House abruptly cut off the audio feed of President Joe Biden at a meeting on cybersecurity Wednesday.
Biden, seated at a table with Cabinet members, his national security team and private sector leaders, spoke for about four minutes before asking reporters to leave.
Still, reporters began asking questions. Media cameras not controlled by the White House kept rolling, showing Biden’s response to NBC News reporter Peter Alexander's question about what Biden would do if Americans were still in Afghanistan after the August 31 withdrawal deadline.
“You’ll be the first person I call,” Biden replied sarcastically.
