The host of WURD’s “The Source,” Andrea Lawful-Sanders, who recently interviewed Biden for the show, revealed that she approved four of the questions that she asked the president from a list that the White House supplied her during Saturday’s broadcast of CNN’s “First of All.”

While talking with Lawful-Sanders, host Victor Blackwell said, “Andrea, let me ask you about your interviews — you asked about four questions, and maybe that is what you are allowed to ask by the White House.” However, the interview questions were essentially the same: they asked about his accomplishments, the state of affairs in your respective states, the election’s implications, his assessment of his debate performance, and his advice to voters who might decide not to cast a ballot or believe their vote is meaningless. Did the White House ask you those questions, or did you have your own questions? Or did the campaign ask you questions before the interview?”

Lawful-Sanders responded, “I forwarded the questions for approval. They have my approval.”

“All right, so the White House supplied the questions to you before the interview?” Blackwell inquired.

Yes, Lawful-Sanders answered. “Out of the eight questions I received, I selected and approved four.”

Then Blackwell said, “All right. I only ask because I don’t know how the White House shows the President’s energy, vitality, and acuity by submitting questions ahead of time so he knows what to expect during the interview. I’m not criticizing either of you.

After that, Blackwell questioned Lawful-Sanders once more, without inquiring as to whether Ingram had received any queries from the White House.
