Today marks six months since the Trump White House has held a traditional press briefing.
Wednesday marks six months since a White House press secretary last came to the podium in the briefing room to field questions from reporters in a traditional format and the Trump administration has no plans to resume the daily scrutiny and sometimes combative encounters with the White House press corps.

The president is pleased with the current communications operation, the official said.
