“We are now holding near the Trump’s Ice Cream Parlor counter, awaiting further developments…”

As per tradition, there is a dedicated pool of reporters from different news outlets who are covering the transition of President-elect Donald Trump to the White House.

While Trump's campaign has said they expect to operate "a traditional pool" once Trump becomes president, the media has expressed concerns over Trump's reluctance to travel without a protective pool of reporters during his campaign and for his first visit to Washington since the election.

"The White House Correspondents’ Association is deeply concerned by President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to reject the practice of traveling with a 'protective pool' of reporters for his first visit to Washington since the election," White House Correspondents Association President Jeff Mason said in a statement. "In addition to breaking with decades of historical precedent and First Amendment principles, this decision could leave Americans blind about his whereabouts and well-being in the event of a national crisis."
