Back officially from maternity leave today. The best job in the world is being a mom and I’m grateful to @ABC for the time I was able to spend at home with family these past four months ❤️ My last day at work was the day Nicolás Maduro was captured and what’s true about this industry is the news never stops. I have the most incredible colleagues, many of whom found themselves in a scary and fluid situation this past weekend and reported so gracefully under pressure. This job is not easy, to say the least. I’m lucky to work with them — now let’s break some news!

NEW in @Playbook: Trump is asking close allies about CoS Susie Wiles, and floating possible future successors, per sources
Knives are out for Wiles—with rivals privately putting recent headlines surrounding her daughter’s foreign lobbying in front of POTUS urging he make changes, per sources
One senior elected GOP official who received a call from Trump said the president had raised “the first honest questions about Susie”
Wiles has survived past efforts, and so far has yet to discuss how long she’ll remain chief of staff with the president, per source familiar
Trump in statement to Playbook forcefully stood by his longest serving CoS
More with @DashaBurns:

Last week, the Trump administration told a federal court that saying bad things about the GOP convention was a potential national security/misinformation risk.
NEWS —
Ken Paxton trashed President Trump’s convention in leaked audio obtained by NYT.
Paxton told donors and lobbyists last week that the convention hurt his polling numbers. Paxton was a huge part of the Dallas convention.
Exclusive in NYT.

The 5 network WH TV pool provides raw materials of news coverage: video, audio, editorial information and logistical support to news outlets then seen across the world. That is separate from how individual outlets use the material to prepare their own stories and make their own editorial choices.

>> @MonicaHesse gets it: "Philosophically, the press pool communicates that the executive branch of the United States belongs to the people. That the president’s words and actions should be visible to all of us. The government should be an open book. This is so important that competing news organizations agree to share with one another and with the public as part of a broader and loftier mission." washingtonpost.com/style/202…

Yes, WHCA has long provided specific guidance from Secret Service and various administrations
on matters where video material should not be used at all or with limitations for security reasons.
For decades, the @whca has advised poolers not to air video of taillights because it’s a potential risk to the security of the motorcade.

🔥 NYPD is going ALL OUT to protect President Trump as he travels through NYC tonight, on his way back to DC
THANK YOU, NYPD. And thank you @RealAmVoice for showing us RAW footage of how difficult it is to keep President Trump safe

The 5 networks expend considerable resources for staff, equipment, travel costs to provide coverage of the president anywhere in the world and have an established infrastructure for how the images, audio and editorial information is distributed for use by other outlets. That is how the public receives this coverage.

Journalists are annoying. Officials get tired of our questions; readers may wish we asked different ones.
(Frankly, we annoy each other as we compete for scoops.)
But being annoying — pushing our government for answers — is part of the press freedom that makes America great.
MS NOW said its journalists were denied access to the White House grounds Saturday, a day after President Trump said he would ban the outlet, as well as CNN and Politico, from the site.
The president said Friday he disliked how they covered him. wapo.st/46RUEip

“Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” - Thomas Jefferson
Here's MS NOW reporter @gardnerakayla describing her arrival at the White House this morning. Her badge didn't work. "The officer asked me to hand over my badge. He said that it was disabled. I asked why I was not able to get inside. He said it was above him."

Playbook says Politico reporter Cheyenne Haslett has been denied entry to the White House:
Katherine Faulders retweeted
The president said it plainly in the Oval Office, describing his own planned action as a “ban on the free press.”
The Constitution protects the freedom of the press from government interference. That protection does not depend on whether the president likes a news organization’s coverage, agrees with its reporting, or approves of the questions its journalists ask.
This is about more than the rights of journalists. It is about the right of the American people to receive a full and independent account of the activities, policies and decisions of whoever occupies the nation’s highest office.
The WHCA stands in defense of our colleagues at CNN, MSNOW, and POLITICO who are being singled out for doing their jobs.
- Jacqui Heinrich, WHCA President

The decision by Trump's current health secretary to use private jets has raised some eyebrows, given that Trump's first health secretary attracted some attention for using private jets.
Exclusive: The White House has given RFK Jr access to military aircraft as the health secretary has criss-crossed the country.
RFK Jr used private flight to join GOP candidates in Iowa last month.

Really can’t emphasize enough how remarkable this statement is coming from Joe DiGenova, who spent the better part of a decade pushing the conspiracy theory that he was in charge of investigating.

Big “grand conspiracy” news: Joe DiGenova is out as top prosecutor overseeing the sprawling probe into Trump’s perceived enemies, per ABC news.
NEWS - Joe, diGenova, a Trump loyalist who had been tapped to oversee a sprawling and controversial DOJ conspiracy investigation targeting political foes of President Donald Trump abruptly resigned Thursday, per sources. abcnews.com/US/loyalist-tapp…
diGenova submitted his resignation to AG Todd Blanche amid what sources described as growing frustrations from Trump and senior DOJ officials regarding his work on the so-called "grand conspiracy" investigation based out of the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida.
