“This White House believes strongly in the First Amendment, so it's why our team will work diligently to restore the press passes of the 440 journalists whose passes were wrongly revoked” — White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Tuesday that the White House press office will choose which outlets get to cover the president in close quarters, replacing the decision-making authority that has long rested with the 100-year-old White House Correspondents Association.,,
Leavitt did not disclose which new outlets the White House would add to the daily press pool rotation. The daily press pool, which is a rotation, covers the president's movements in the Oval Office and elsewhere on the grounds. It travels with him whenever he leaves the White House, whether that's across town to a federal agency or across the globe, at the expense of the news outlets. News organizations pay for seats aboard Air Force One and for other coverage-related costs. It's unclear when the new rotation will be implemented…
The WHCA, a nonprofit organization that represents more than 400 journalists covering the White House, has long decided which outlets are a part of the pool rotation covering presidents, and who sits in which chairs in the White House briefing room.

x Trumps Hunter Biden rant was all telling, showing a deep hatred for Ukraine and specifically Zelensky.If you understand that TASS was also invited to the Oval Office too, then you will also understand that this was a Russian tailored set up orchestrated to justify pulling support for Ukraine.
