Trump says he may move White House press corps to a new location
President Trump said Saturday he is considering moving the White House press area, while pushing back on a report that he wanted to replace the briefing room with a swimming pool.
President Trump said Saturday he may move the White House press corps to a different location. He described it as "a less obnoxious location," according to The Hill.
Trump was also responding to a New York Times report from Tuesday. The Hill says that report said he told aides he wanted to bring back an indoor pool. The Times report, as described by The Hill, tied the pool to the press briefing room's space. Trump pushed back on the idea that he would replace the briefing room with a pool.
Al Jazeera says the remarks come at a tense time between Trump and the journalists who cover him. The reports did not say where the press might be moved or when.
