Karoline Leavitt shakes up press briefing room in podium debut

President Donald Trump‘s White House will approach the press differently from his predecessors, providing seats traditionally used for aides to what his administration is describing as “new media” for the first briefing of his second term.

In her debut appearance behind the podium, press secretary Karoline Leavitt promised that Trump and his aides “will speak to all media outlets and personalities, not just the legacy media who are seated in this room because, according to recent polling from Gallup, Americans’ trust in mass media has fallen to a record low.”
