White House Now Restricting Access For Journalists To Karoline Leavitt's Office

There sure is a lot going on right now, and Donald doesn't act like a president who intends to leave office in 3 years. Trump has destroyed the East Wing, and remodeled the Lincoln bathroom to presumably appear more Mar-a-Lago-ish.

The self-described most transparent administration in American history just issued a memo further restricting media access at the White House. The new rules block journalists’ access to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s office and to the workspaces of other top communications officials near the Oval Office.

Politico reports:

Members of the media who cover the White House will no longer have free access to an office in the West Wing used by communications staff, the Trump administration said Friday in its latest move to rein in the press corps.

Reporters seeking to speak with White House officials in the office will now need an appointment, according to a memo released Friday by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Steven Cheung, the communications director, both of whom work in the now restricted area.
