Trump says he may move the White House press corps to a 'less obnoxious location' but rules out swimming pool

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday morning to deny a report that he planned to rip out the briefing room. The report, published on Tuesday, said he had told aides he wanted back the indoor pool installed in 1933 under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Richard Nixon later covered that pool to make way for the press room. Trump wrote: 'I NEVER even thought to do such a stupid thing!'

This week reporter Andrew Feinberg lost his print pool duties after Trump lashed out at him.

A White House spokesperson said barred reporters 'can write their fiction from outside'.
