- At least five White House staffers have been fired and "dozens" have been suspended after admitting to using marijuana, press secretary Jen Psaki has confirmed.
- The story, initially reported by the Daily Beast, quotes anonymous employees who claim Biden told them using marijuana -- which is legal in Washington D.C. -- would not disqualify them from working in the White House.
- When asked about the report on Friday, Psaki downplayed the number of people who have been canned, saying, "The bottom line is this: of the hundreds of people hired, only five people who had started working at the White House are no longer employed as a result of this policy."
