A reporter from the White House press corps went rogue Wednesday when she livestreamed audio from the day’s press briefing. Despite poor sound quality, deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders could be heard introducing Director of Legislative Affairs Marc Short, who addressed reporters before Sanders answered questions from the press corps. The seemingly rebellious act marks a significant development in relations between the media and the White House. Trump’s spokespeople have ordered the press corps not to film or broadcast live audio at every White House briefing since June 29. Reporters have balked at recent restrictions on coverage of the briefings, urging that the White House allow live broadcasts.
