Biden said he had talked to 'everyone' in East Palestine except GOP Mayor Trent Conaway, who greeted former President Donald Trump during a visit on Wednesday.
Muir asked Biden about Conaway's comments in the Friday interview, prompting the president to defend his administration by asserting that Environmental Protection Agency officials and others had visited the site"within two hours" of the derailment.
"I can't recall whether I've ... I don't think I've talked to the mayor there," Biden continued after Muir pressed him about speaking to Conaway and visiting the village."I've talked to everyone else there multiple times. I've talked to both the senators, both governors ... I've talked to everyone there is to talk to. And we've made it clear that everything is available.
