Two conservative media figures that were present at the meeting were frustrated nonetheless.
They said reporters at the gathering grilled Trump on a handful of sticky political issues important to his conservative base, but that no stories will come of it because there is no recording or transcript of the on-the-record meeting.
Sources said Trump dodged on two thorny questions.
The Daily Caller’s Kaitlan Collins is said to have asked Trump about why he supports amnesty for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. She had asked White House press secretary Sean Spicer the same question earlier in the day.
And conservative radio host Laura Ingraham is said to have pressed Trump on why he backed away from calling China a currency manipulator.
