EXCERPT:
United States President Donald Trump has confirmed he could move the White House press corps to a different location, possibly away from the executive residence.
In a social media post on Friday, Trump described reports that he planned to remove the White House press briefing room in favour of restoring a historic swimming pool located underneath as “Fake News”.
“I NEVER even thought to do such a stupid thing!” he wrote in a Truth Social post.
Trump, however, indicated he may relocate dozens of reporters who cover the White House “to a less obnoxious location”.
The New York Times on Tuesday reported that Trump had pitched his former press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, on an idea to move journalists out of the White House’s storied James S. Brady Press Briefing Room. That proposal did not move forward during Leavitt’s tenure, which ended on August 27.
