Another reporter followed up with a separate question about Psaki joining MSNBC.

“How is it ethical to have these conversations with media outlets while you continue to have a job standing behind that podium?” NBC reporter Kristen Welker asked.

“I have abided by [ethical and legal requirements] that are imposed on this administration,” Psaki said.
