Trump: I won't kick reporters out of White House press briefing room

At the White House, “it’s a different thing,” Trump told CNN in a telephone interview Tuesday night.

He repeatedly said he would not try to revoke any press credentials if elected president.

“In my case, I’m a person running for office. I rent these large arenas… so I have an option” to deny access to members of the media, Trump said. “When I’m representing the United States, I wouldn’t do that. But I would let people know if somebody’s untruthful.”

Questions have arisen about Trump’s hypothetical treatment of the White House press corps because his campaign has blocked reporters from BuzzFeed, Politico, Univision and other outlets from receiving press credentials.
