Story summary

On October 24, 2026, US President Donald Trump suggested moving the White House press corps to a "less obnoxious location," though he denied reports that he planned to restore a historic indoor swimming pool by removing the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room. In social media posts, Trump dismissed the rumors as "stupid" but did not rule out relocating journalists. The New York Times reported in August that Trump had discussed moving briefings outside the current press room with then-press secretary Karoline Leavitt, though no action was taken. The idea of bringing back the pool, originally installed during President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration for therapeutic exercise, remains a topic of speculation despite Trump's denial.
