The White House launched new broadsides against the news media on two fronts.

Separately, CBS News reports that Trump has discussed the possibility of moving the White House press corps to another building entirely, a step that could escalate his clashes with news organizations over coverage and access.

No final decisions have been made, according to the two people close to the president cited by CBS News.

Reporters have had dedicated workspaces inside the White House building for more than a century, according to CBS News. The current James S. Brady Press Briefing Room was constructed during the Nixon administration, replacing a swimming pool that dated back to Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency.

Late last month, Trump posted a before-and-after image to Truth Social suggesting the briefing room could be turned back into a pool.

Outside allies including former strategist Steve Bannon have pushed the idea of relocating the press corps, CBS News reports, and communications director Steven Cheung said 'all options remain on the table.'

The pool block followed a rocky Oval Office exchange. On Tuesday, Feinberg asked Trump about the False Claims Act, a law from the 1800s that lets whistleblowers collect far higher sums than the 1% cap, up to 25%, announced under Trump's new fraud tip line.

When he tried to ask more, Trump lashed out, saying 'What is wrong with you? Are you a sick person?'

Deadline reports that Vice President JD Vance called Feinberg an 'imbecile' on X, and that the White House rapid response account used a slur against him.

White House Correspondents' Association President Jacqui Heinrich, Fox News's senior White House correspondent, said the restriction amounted to retaliation.

'The White House Correspondents' Association strongly objects to the decision to restrict a journalist's coverage simply because the president didn't care for their questioning. That is retaliation,' she said in a statement Wednesday, per Deadline.

The White House countered that no journalist has a constitutional right to access the Oval Office or Air Force One, arguing that proximity matters less for publications that 'lie, fabricate, and ignore the truth.'

The episode fits a longer campaign over access. Last month Trump attempted to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House complex, but a federal judge reinstated their credentials, finding the ban likely violated the First Amendment and due process, CBS News reports.

The White House has kept blocking CNN from television pool duty, and the Pentagon has tightened press rules, with reporters now barred from entering the building unescorted after a judge struck down earlier restrictions.

Trump also derided CNN's Kaitlan Collins as 'a low-IQ person' and an ABC News reporter as 'a stupid person' on Wednesday, Deadline reports.

CBS News says the relocation discussions were first reported by The New York Times and that no decision has been made; a similar idea was floated before Trump's first term but abandoned in 2017 after, in his words, 'the press went crazy.'

The stakes are high for an administration that last year took control of pool selection from the WHCA and continues restricting CNN from presidential travel. Feinberg, for his part, wrote on The Independent's site: 'I was doing my job, and I'll be right back at it tomorrow.'
