White House pool report #1 - Checking in/No News

Good morning from the White House.

President Trump has no public events on his schedule but pooler will inform you if anything changes.

Some color for your morning: It's quiet in downtown D.C. with streets around the White House complex closed off ahead of inauguration. Pooler saw extra fencing being unloaded at 17th and Pennsylvania as she headed into the complex this morning.

As for the West Wing, the framed photographs that were on the wall outside of upper press have been taken down, leaving just the hooks behind. There are moving crates in lower and upper press.

Just wanted to check in so you know who today's pooler is. Please reach out with any questions.

The pool was COVID tested this morning.
