Trump says he may move White House press corps
Trump said he may move reporters to a less obnoxious location, while denying any plan to restore the old swimming pool.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump confirmed he may move the White House press corps to a different location, stating, "I may move the Fake News to a less obnoxious location."
- Trump previously urged former press secretary Karoline Leavitt in August to move news conferences out of the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, preferring to restore a therapy pool installed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933.
- Outside allies, including Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte and former strategist Steve Bannon, have pushed the concept in recent weeks, with prior transition discussions exploring the Eisenhower Executive Office Building as an alternative site.
- White House communications director Steven Cheung posted a statement saying America is "distrustful of the fake news media," adding that "all options remain on the table" regarding future press arrangements.
- These discussions follow months of friction, including a recent ruling by Judge Timothy J. Kelly that the administration violated First Amendment rights by barring journalists, a decision the White House is currently appealing.
