Jeff Mason: Trump Team Made ‘Assurances’ They Will Respect Many of the W.H. Press Corps Traditions

‘There have been assigned seats in the briefing room since the Reagan administration’

EXCERPT:

MASON: "You know, at this point, certainly there are some concerns that have come up based on how the press relationship was during Trump campaign. But so far they have made assurances to us that they will respect many of the White House traditions of the press corps. So, you know, I -- I’m reluctant to identify a whole bunch of concerns until we see how it goes. We have been in talks with them. We would like to have more talks with them about how things will go. One of the concerns that we’ve talked about on your program before was the establishment of a pool and a pool of reporters covering the president-elect in New York and on his travels."
