Biden changed his phone number after a call from an NYT journalist asking for an interview

Former US President Joe Biden changed his phone number after a call from The New York Times (NYT) correspondent Tyler Page. The journalist told about this on January 11 during an interview with the current American leader Donald Trump.

During a conversation at the White House, Trump asked reporters if Biden would have given such an interview to a newspaper during his presidential term. In response, NYT correspondent David Sanger stated that the publication had never conducted an interview with the former US president. At that moment, White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said that Biden had changed his phone number after calling the NYT asking for an interview.

"I did call him, and he changed his phone number," the Pager confirmed.

Trump responded by noting that he had not done such a thing himself and agreed to talk to the newspaper.
