President Obama holds a news conference in the White House press briefing room on Nov. 14. The incoming White House chief of staff, Reince Priebus, said Sunday that some Trump administration news conferences could be moved into a different space outside the White House. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters)Incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said Sunday that news conferences traditionally held in the White House briefing room could be moved to a larger space, not in the White House, to allow for “more press, more coverage from all over the country.”Priebus spoke on ABC’s “This Week” hours after Esquire magazine published a report that suggested that the media could be permanently evicted from their longtime space in the White House itself to other buildings nearby. George Stephanopoulos, who questioned Priebus on Sunday, wrote about an abortive plan from then-first lady Hillary Clinton to convert the White House press office back into an indoor swimming pool in “All Too Human,” his memoir of his time as a senior Clinton aide. “Easy for her to say; she doesn’t have to deal with you anymore.”Karen Tumulty contributed to this report.
