President Donald Trump doubled down on his threat to end the White House daily press briefing, calling it a "good idea."
In an interview with Jeanine Pirro that will air Saturday at 9pm ET on "Justice," Trump reiterated what he had tweeted this morning.
As a very active President with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!....

...Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future "press briefings" and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???

"You don't mean that," Pirro responded.
"Unless I have them every two weeks and do it myself, we won't have them. I think it's a good idea," he answered.
Trump said there's an "incredible" level of hostility from reporters toward Press Secretary Sean Spicer and his deputy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. He agreed with Pirro's assertion that he moves so quickly, his communications staff cannot keep up.
He declined to answer directly when Pirro asked whether Spicer will continue as press secretary.
"He's doing a good job, but he gets beat up," said Trump.

Trump also discussed a report that he asked Comey whether the former director would be loyal to him:
