CNN skips revived WH briefings after yearlong complaints demanding "transparency"

When Trump announced that he was pulling back on holding regular briefings with the task force, however, Lemon chimed in.

“You may think it’s over because if you actually pay attention to what’s happening in Washington with this administration, not having the briefings, trying to — pretending that this is over because they want to move on to other things. So not having those briefings, that’s all part of the plan for you to think that this is over, that we have moved beyond this,” Lemon said of the Trump administration.

Since the daily task force briefings have halted, the newly-minted White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, has revived press briefings, albeit semi-regularly.

Even then, CNN largely avoided McEnany’s new stint at the podium, completely skipping her latest briefing on Tuesday.
