The White House staff let broadcast cameras set up in a makeshift briefing room at President Trump's Florida estate on Friday, expecting a briefing to start soon. But almost as soon as he arrived at the lectern, Spicer demanded the cameras be turned off. (The pool camera at Friday's briefing was operated by CNN, per broadcast pool reports.) Off-camera briefings aren't anything new for the White House. It's not a huge gaffe for Spicer or the White House.
