Trump may move White House press corps to new location, denies pool plan

President Donald Trump confirmed on Saturday that he may move the White House press corps to a different location, according to a report by Taylorville Daily News citing Reuters.

Trump dismissed reports that he planned to remove the White House press room and restore a historic swimming pool beneath it, calling the idea something he had never considered, as reported by Taylorville Daily News.

He said in a social media post that he might move the press corps to a 'less obnoxious location,' a phrase also noted by Political Wire.

The New York Times reported earlier that Trump had suggested moving news conferences out of the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, which replaced an indoor therapy pool installed during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration; however, this idea was never implemented, according to Taylorville Daily News.

Trump has frequently criticized the media for unfair reporting and last month briefly banned several news outlets from White House grounds, a move later reversed by a federal judge, as reported by Taylorville Daily News.

The possibility of relocating the press corps continues to draw attention amid ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and the media, with no final decision announced yet.
