A reporter just asked Karoline Leavitt if the WH will commit to making a list of the attendees at tonight's crypto dinner public so people can see who's paying for that kind of access to the president.

Her answer: The president is attending it in his personal time.

Oh okay. Never mind that it was reported on MSNBC that the majority of attendees are foreign nationals. They are paying at least a million for access.

But no biggee, people. It's his PERSONAL TIME, okay?
