Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich criticized the Trump administration's recent decision to control which media outlets can access the White House press pool. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that moving forward, access would no longer be overseen by the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA), stating it would restore power to the public. Legacy media would still be included, with new outlets also gaining access. Heinrich's criticism highlights concerns over reducing the WHCA's role, while the WHCA condemned the changes, signifying a clash over media access dynamics.
Jacqui Heinrich criticized the Trump administration's announcement, arguing that stripping media access power from the WHCA does not truly return power to the people.
