President Trump has mused privately during his nearly 16 months in office about revoking reporters' press credentials, according to multiple people familiar with his comments. The White House Correspondents' Association, which represents the press corps, expressed concern about the tweet. Trump's question faced some criticism from one of his most powerful allies in conservative media. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was asked about the credentials issue at Wednesday afternoon's briefing. After the election, Trump aides like Steve Bannon continued to push proposals that would have inhibited the work of the White House press corps.
