I was given a White House - well, you will have to ask the White House that. But I asked to attend the White House briefing because I was, you know, because I wanted to report on the activities there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did get a letter from the speaker of the House urging - enjoining me not to brief Secretary Clinton, and lots of cards and letters from people about not briefing Mr. Trump.
I've been to the White House a number of times.
The White House is giving George W. Bush intelligence briefings. You know, some of these jokes just write themselves.
In Democratic administrations, I visit the White House.
I've always wondered: is there really any access to the White House?
I was invited by President Bush to come to the United States on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the mutual defense treaty.
I am shocked at how much time I spend in the White House. I mean, you know, for people on the outside, the idea of going to the White House for a meeting must seem like the most important, serious, even glamorous kind of thing to do.
The Obama administration appears to regard intelligence leaks and briefings more or less like briefings by the Democratic National Committee or White House flack Jay Carney. You use any information at hand, classified or not, and you spin it any way you like, fairly or not.
All my stories were usually titled, 'White House Says,' 'President Bush Wants,' and I relied on transcripts from the briefings. I relied on press releases that were sent to the press for the purpose of accurately portraying what the White House believed or wanted.
I was given no special information by the White House, or by anybody else, for that matter.
