The president-elect spent about two hours dining with family at the 21 Club, a restaurant a few blocks from his Trump Tower residence. But just over an hour later, Trump's motorcade left his residence. Hicks said she was unaware that Trump planned to leave his home and had not intended to leave the press in the dark. Trump traveled from New York to Washington last week without a pool of journalists. Every president and president-elect in recent memory has traveled with a pool of journalists when leaving the White House grounds.
