Ko te kaikorero matua o te Perehitini o Barack Obama, a Josh Earnest, i whakakahore ki te whakapae i tenei ra mo te mana mahi a Leonhart, kaore ano hoki i waiho te taumaha o te White House ki muri i a ia. I akiakihia kia kii mena kei te whakawhirinaki tonu te perehitini ki tana rangatira tarukino, ka mea a Earnest, 'Kei te awangawanga tonu matou mo nga korero i whakaatuhia i roto i te ripoata a te kaiwhakahaere matua e whakaara ana i nga paatai tika mo te whanonga o nga apiha DEA.' E kōrero ana a Earnest ki ngā whakapae mo te whakawhiu ā-ira me te whanonga kino ā-ira ki te DEA, te FBI, te US Marshals Service me te Tari o te Rōpū Whakahaeretanga.
