President-elect Donald Trump entered the week of his inauguration fending off questions about the legitimacy of his presidency even as he promised to unite the nation as its new leader. His aides went on the attack against the Democratic Party and Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), the civil rights icon who questioned the legitimacy of Trump’s claim to the White House. Furthermore, Reince Priebus, the incoming White House chief of staff, piqued the news media’s interest by acknowledging that there had been discussion about moving press briefings out of the White House to accommodate larger crowds. Stephanopoulos corrected Priebus, noting that Trump continued to raise questions about Obama’s eligibility well into his own presidential campaign. He did not mention evicting media members from their workspace inside the White House and near the offices of the president and vice president, despite reports to the contrary.
