Trump considering removing journalists from White House briefing room, converting it to pool

The New York Times reports that President Trump is considering removing journalists from the White House briefing room and converting the space into an indoor swimming pool, as it was originally built for President Franklin Roosevelt in 1933. Trump has raised the idea multiple times in the past, but advisers previously dissuaded him, arguing that physical proximity to journalists facilitates communication. Now, some of Trump's close advisers support relocating journalists to another government building, a move that would further limit their direct access to the president.
