Reporters expressed frustration with President Donald Trump and anger toward their fellow journalists after Trump managed to avoid addressing the question of the day at his Monday press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — the fate of his national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
At the afternoon briefing, Trump called on reporters from local Washington television outlet ABC 7 (owned by Sinclair Broadcasting) and The Daily Caller, a conservative news outlet. Most reporters were eager to ask about Flynn and whether he still has the confidence of the president after reports that Flynn had secret discussions with Russian officials and appears to have misled Vice President Mike Pence about those discussions. (Senior Counselor to the President, Kellyanne Conway, later said on MSNBC that General Flynn does enjoy the full confidence of the president, though White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer also told reporters the president is "evaluating the situation.")
