WASHINGTON — (AP) — President Joe Biden will host Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for meetings on Feb. 10, the White House announced, a month after the storming of government buildings in the Brazilian capital by far-right protesters.

Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, tends to describe the situation as a "review" or a "legal process," using the term "investigation" much less frequently. Any White House or campaign tends to choose its words carefully, but never moreso than when under a prosecutor's scrutiny. Davis also said he doesn't blame the White House for favoring some words over others. That branding, a seeming attempt to minimize a criminal investigation, drew a mild chiding in 2016 from then-FBI Director James Comey, who said he was unfamiliar with that terminology. Regardless, questions about the investigation — or the review or the legal process — will not be going away anytime soon.
