His last interview at the meeting was with Leicester Holt of NBC News on February 10, and he has conducted only 23 interviews since taking office.
At the same time from their presidency, Mr. Trump had done 95, Barack Obama had given 187 interviews, George W. Bush had given 60, Bill Clinton had given 64, George Sr. Bush had given 70, and Ronald Reagan had given 78, according to the White House transition project. house.
