What is the White House pool? These days, it's a battleground between Trump and free press rights
Americas4 sources2 countries13m ago

As an immediate ramification of the administration's attempt to restrict pool access, President Trump was left entirely inaudible during a Monday press conference, resulting in White House-provided video that lacked usable audio of his remarks.
