White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre requested not to be interviewed by Don Lemon as a condition of appearing on “CNN This Morning” this week, The Post has learned. Instead, the press secretary was interviewed on Thursday’s show by co-host Poppy Harlow. CNN said it had planned on picking Harlow to interview Jean-Pierre even before the press secretary made the demand. The press secretary then used the opportunity to highlight Biden’s own record of elevating women — which includes a number of women older than 40. And the job of president of the United States is a really, really tough job,” Lemon said.
