I don't think Jay was asked YET - but not sure.  Think briefing is momentary.  Kendra told me he was going to be asked by ABC News.  (Also said Jen Psaki was going to be asked at the State Dept.)  But nothing more at the office except the one Katie got earlier.

Only issue seemed to be the photo and that is taken care of.    All seems to be fine.

I understand Jay was asked about it in daily briefing- any more inquiries at the office?
