POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump faced another audio challenge when addressing a news outlet not included in the ongoing White House press boycott, with his remarks largely lost amid static.

The major TV networks have withdrawn from press pool coverage after the White House excluded CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO last week, leading to a shift in who is covering presidential events. Right-wing outlet Real America’s Voice stepped in, but Trump’s speech on Wednesday was barely audible over background noise.

“Meeting…they appreciate it…” Trump could be heard saying during the broadcast, though much of his message was drowned out by interference. His comments about a new helipad were similarly muffled, marking the second time this week he has struggled to be heard without the White House TV press pool.
