Washington-White House pressor Caroline Leavitt announced Tuesday that President Trump’s administration will receive direct control of the Daily Press Pool composition after winning an initial court decision on Monday’s exclusion of Associated Press .
The change highlights decades of historical defense in the White House correspondents’ association, but it is unclear to what extent the mass will actually change the mixing mix by giving them close access to Trump.
“Beyond is beyond the time that the White House press operation reflects the customs of the media of the American people in 2025, not 1925. A selected group of DC -based journalists should no longer have a monopoly on the privilege of access to the house White, “Leavitt said at a press conference.
“So by deciding which exits make up the limited press pool on a daily basis, the White House will restore power again to the American people that President Trump was chosen to serve.”
US District District Judge Trevor McFadden refused to give AP a temporary restriction order on Monday by restoring the plug in the pool, from which he was banned by Trump officials for refusing to update his influential book to T ‘Referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the’ Gulf of America ‘on the basis of Trump’s official reappointment.
The other hearing in the lawsuit – in which Leavitt, Chief of White House Staff Susie Wiles and Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budawich, have been appointed as defendants – is scheduled for March 20.
“F -K AP. They deceived us all, ”a journalist who participated in the press pool shouted.
The Association of Correspondents has maintained considerable informal power over the last century, mainly as a by -product of carefully selecting battles with presidents and avoiding public fighting in favor of closed -door talks to resolve access disputes.
The president of the Association Eugene Daniels, from Politico, said Leavitt’s announcement “Tears in the independence of a free press in the United States”.
“This suggests that the government will choose journalists covering the president. In a free country, leaders should not be able to choose their own press troops,” Daniels said.
“For generations, journalists who work to be chosen to lead the Board of the White House correspondent Association have repeatedly expanded the membership of SHCA and its pool rotations to facilitate the inclusion of new and developing exits.”
Daniels said the White House did not have “any discussion about today’s announcements” with the organization’s board.
The association still appoints 49 seats in the White House briefing room and until Tuesday announced media organizations giving direct access to the president to smaller rooms in the White House – such as the Oval and Roosevelt Roomevelt office – and those traveling to the air force one.
Although surprised journalists of change, Leavitt announced a number of observations that could break down the practical impact – saying the Trump administration would have access to the top five TV – ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC exits – who staff Slot television pool and maintain dedicated radio slot.
It is unclear if the White House press office will have a sustainable interest in changing dramatically – rather than easily filling – composition of pools, which can include considerable work and coordination that are done free by the correspondents’ association.
“Speaking forward, the White House press will be determined by the White House press team. Inheritance outputs that have participated in the press pool for decades will be allowed to unite, do not be scared, but we will also offer privilege for well -deserved exits, who have never been allowed to divide into this wonderful responsibility, “Leavitt said.
“As we added a new media site to this conference room, the inheritance media that have been here for years will participate in the pool, but the new voices will also be welcomed,” she continued.
“As part of these changes, we will continue the rotation among the five main television networks to ensure that the president’s remarks are heard very wide throughout this world. We will add additional transmission services that reach different audiences than Traditional cable and transmitted …, “said Leavitt.
“We will continue to rotate a oppressed pole which has the great responsibility to transcribe the president’s remarks in their distribution to the rest of the world. And we will add exit to the main rotation, to which they have been denied by Time privilege to participate in this experience, but we are committed to covering this white house. “
Traditionally, the three services of Telit-AP, Reuters and Bloomberg have been part of every pool on the campus and when the president is traveling.
There is also a representative of the printed pool rotating which writes reports sent to thousands of subscribers of the ListV – with the script drawn by a group of approximately 30 exits, including posting – and repetitions of radio rotation and TV, together with photographers and cameram TV.
On the air force trips, the correspondent association has an additional place filled by a small set of exits ready to support the large bill for what was previously a magazine country.
While the president is in the White House, the reporters of Dow Jones and Agency France-Present traditionally enter all events as part of an expanded “inside” pool.
The Trump administration has already been a relaxing access to the spraying of oval office pools that in the past were strongly limited to members of the correspondent association group – often adding a small portion of the extra output to an action that did not generate a noise.
