"They don't want to answer the question, so they answer a different one. It's a problem as old as time when it comes to our friendly neighborhood politicos, but like most things it got significantly worse over the last six years or so. The complete and utter shamelessness of our most prominent public servants was captured most succinctly in speech by Donald Trump's "EXCUSE ME," which he used to interrupt people whose line of questioning he did not like by accusing them of interrupting him. Then he'd say some random crap he thought was more advantageous to him. But even less masterful scammers have learned to either start yelling at their interlocutor that they're a biased hack who hates America, or just start talking about something else.
The main way to combat this, it seems, is to ask the same question over and over. We saw a bit of this when Jonathan Swan of Axios pressed Trump on his COVID response in the summer of 2020, inducing something of a toddleric meltdown. We saw it with Paula Reid of CBS, again on COVID, in the White House Press Briefing Room. (In fairness, Reid did actually interrupt Trump before his "EXCUSE ME" there.) And we got a dose of it again this month, first with an interview Jared Kushner did to promote his book on Sky News. His interlocutor, Kay Burley, again made the case that the Brits (and in Swan's case, the Aussies) tend to be much better at this stuff than we are."
