White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has hit back at critics, insisting Donald Trump’s administration offers far greater media transparency than Joe Biden’s presidency ever did.
- Leavitt defended changes to White House press pool access, claiming they expand rather than restrict coverage
- She highlighted that Biden held just 164 press conferences and interviews compared to Trump’s 468 at the same point in their terms
- The Press Secretary rejected accusations of controlling independent media, insisting all outlets now have equal access
- Leavitt noted the administration continues to allow ‘fake news leftist outlets’ to attend briefings
- She argued the changes reflect a ‘digital age’ approach and Trump’s successful nontraditional media strategy
