re: #44 MsJ

I can’t find any confirmation of that. I saw the tweet a couple of hours ago. I’d have thought that if it was true the press folks there would have said something.

They’ve definitely mentioned it.

I am the White House print pooler tonight. That means I am supposed to be with @POTUS. Instead, I and the rest of the pool, were left at an event while POTUS returned to the White House.

I have been a print pooler for six years during the Obama and Trump administrations. I have never been part of a protective pool that was left behind until today.

The White House abandoned the press pool at the Christmas tree lighting. Trump is allegedly back at the White House.

The protective press pool exists to be in close proximity to the president in the event of an emergency and to document his movements for history. Can do neither at the moment. https://t.co/eXXKc8BQox

president’s motorcade left the press at the christmas tree lighting. white house aides refusing to explain what happened.

The @WhiteHouse staff works in concert with @SecretService to ensure the pool is always in the @POTUS motorcade. Poolers serve as the eyes and ears for the rest of the media. Usually it goes without a hitch, but something went amiss this evening and we’ve had no explanation.
