President-elect Trump on Wednesday said his administration will continue to conduct press briefings and allow reporters to work inside the White House, after his team faced a brutal backlash earlier this week for suggesting the press corps be moved to a bigger location nearby.

“The press went crazy, so I said, ‘Let’s not move it,'” Trump said on “Fox and Friends,” noting that “some people in the press will not be able to get” into press conferences or briefings because the James S. Brady room, where such events have been held since the Nixon era, only offers 49 seats.
