Donald Trump Jr. revealed on his show, 'Triggered,' that he and President-elect Trump discussed the potential reordering of the White House press briefing room to provide more access to podcasters and independent journalists over legacy media outlets. The conversation took place during a discussion with podcaster Michael Knowles, who suggested the idea of rearranging the seating chart to prioritize certain individuals.
Trump Jr. shared that the idea emerged during a conversation on a plane trip back from the Space X launch with Elon Musk. The focus was on the podcast world and the desire to offer opportunities to independent journalists, considering the behavior of the media in recent times.
