Because he claims the media covers the press secretary ” so rudely & inaccurately,” President Trump has told Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday to stop holding press briefings.

On Twitter, the president added, “I told her not to bother, the word gets out anyway! Most will never cover us fairly & hence, the term, Fake News!”

The last time Sanders met with the press was on Dec. 18. According to ABC News, this is the longest period of time that the Trump White House has gone without an official briefing.

In December, Sanders told Variety that “we have one of the most accessible administrations and presidents in modern history. President Trump regularly engages with the media and any time the American people can hear directly from him that’s a great thing.”
