White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham scoffed at an open letter from past presidential aides that called for the return of regular press briefings, claiming reporters are looking for a moment rather than information.

The press has unprecedented access to President Trump, yet they continue to complain because they cant grandstand on TV, Grisham told Axios in response to the letter, which was published by CNN on Friday. Theyre not looking for information, theyre looking for a moment.

Grisham, who also serves as the White House communications director and a spokeswoman for first lady Melania Trump , took over as White House press secretary in July after Sarah Huckabee Sanders stepped down from the role. Trumps White House hasnt held a traditional press briefing since March.
