White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Wednesday that she would consider bringing back White House press briefings.
Asked in an interview with Sinclair’s Eric Bolling whether she would restore the briefings, Grisham said, “We’re going to talk about it. That’ll be ultimately up to the president.”

Grisham’s Wednesday night interview was her first TV appearance since becoming the White House press secretary, according to Sinclair.
Grisham also said that Trump takes reporter questions near Marine One and has had press presence in the Cabinet Room and Oval Office.
“He is the most accessible president in modern history so I don’t know what any of the press could complain about,” she said.
Grisham’s predecessor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, broke with tradition by essentially ending daily press sessions in the James S. Brady Briefing Room.
The New York Times reported in June that White House officials were debating whether to reinstate the briefings after Sanders’s departure.
