“No cameras at the press briefing, no problem!”That’s how the Christian Broadcasting Network promoted its interview Wednesday with White House press secretary Sean Spicer. The White House has not held an on-camera daily press briefing since June 29, and Sarah Sanders, the deputy press secretary, is scheduled to again take questions off-camera on Wednesday afternoon. Spicer told CBN’s David Brody and Jenna Browder, co-hosts of new online political talk show “Faith Nation,” that there are several factors going into the decision of whether to brief on-camera. For instance, Spicer suggested White House officials stay off-camera on days, such as Wednesday, when Trump is participating in public events. However, Trump also recently appeared on CBN for an on-camera interview with longtime “700 Club” host Pat Robertson, who has suggested the president’s critics are serving Satan.
