‘Maybe Lincoln’s ghost’: Jen Psaki interrupted by strange noise

During Tuesday’s White House press briefing, press secretary Jen Psaki was interrupted by a strange noise.

As she responded to questions about new CDC guidance that fully vaccinated people can stop wearing masks outdoors when in small groups, a loud creaking sound erupted from over her shoulder.
Psaki pauses and glances at the ceiling, before wondering out loud whether the ghost of former President Abraham Lincoln was haunting the room.
“Have no fear. The ceiling is not falling, that I’m aware of… it’s an old building,” said Psaki. “Maybe Lincoln’s ghost, that’s quite something. Maybe it is.”
