## Key points

- Trump may relocate the White House press corps.
- He says the former pool will not be restored.
- The briefing room could be used for other needs.

## Summary

Trump is considering moving the White House press corps out of its longtime briefing room to make space for other needs, while ruling out reports that he plans to restore the swimming pool beneath it. The proposal could change where journalists cover the presidency, though he has not specified a new location or what the space would be used for.

The room is the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, built above the former pool during Richard Nixon’s presidency to accommodate growing demand for television news. The pool opened in 1933 for Franklin D. Roosevelt, who used therapy pools; Trump’s comments come amid wider White House renovations, including a planned ballroom and two 88-foot flagpoles installed last July.
