Sean Spicer Refuses to Hold Televised Press Briefing for 7 Straight Days
------------------------------------------------------------------------

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has now refused to hold a
televised White House press briefing for seven straight days. On Monday,
there was no way for the public to watch Spicer's press conference,
where he addressed Trump's unsubstantiated claims that President Obama
had Trump's phones tapped during the 2016 election. At the briefing,
Spicer offered no evidence but said, "There's no question that something
happened. The question is it-is it surveillance, is it a wiretap or
whatever?"
