Trump reportedly urged then-press secretary Karoline Leavitt in August to shift briefings out of the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room. He reportedly favoured reviving Franklin D.

Trump called reporter Andrew Feinberg a 'sick person' before the White House stripped his pool duties.

Correspondents' chief Jacqui Heinrich accused the White House of 'retaliation' against Feinberg.
