'You know better than that,' National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby scolded the reporter who asked who was running the country.

'He's very much in command,' he noted of Biden.

Zelensky on Friday as proof the president is working.
Biden, 81, is at his beach home in Rehoboth,
Delaware, after spending a week at a private 8,000 acre ranch in Santa Ynez, Calif. He is scheduled to return to the White House after Labor Day weekend.
