Trump Denies Restoring White House Pool but May Relocate Press Room
US President Donald Trump denied reports that he plans to remove the White House press briefing room to restore the historic swimming pool beneath it, calling such ideas "stupid" and "fake news." However, Trump indicated he might relocate the press room to a "less obnoxious location." The pool, installed during Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration and covered during Nixon's, remains a symbolic site. The proposal to move the press room was reportedly discussed but not implemented. Trump's ongoing tensions with the media include past restrictions on certain news outlets, later reversed by court order.
