White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre vehemently denied allegations that presidential staff in the administration of US President Joe Biden treated him like a baby. In response to recent reports, she declared such claims as being "ridiculous" during a press briefing on Tuesday.

"No one treats the President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief, like a baby," Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing when asked about the claims. "That’s a ridiculous claim." 

These allegations surfaced following a report by US media outlets, which cited an excerpt from a new book covering the first two years of the Biden administration. According to the report, President Biden had expressed frustration to friends about feeling "babied" by his staff and had reportedly resented the perception that they were attempting to rectify his mistakes.

The alleged frustration within the Biden administration is said to have peaked after a recent speech delivered by President Biden in Warsaw. During the speech, President Biden ad-libbed a remark about the necessity of deposing Russian President Vladimir Putin, causing a significant stir.

Later, the White House walked back on the remarks, explaining that President Biden's intention had been to convey that Putin should not be able to exercise control over neighboring territories.
