The White House is not expected to hold a press briefing on Easter Sunday, the second day in a row without one amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The White House announced Sunday that President Trump would not appear before reporters on the holiday after he has hosted press briefings almost every day. The president also did not hold a briefing on Saturday of the holiday weekend.
Critics of the president have blasted media outlets for continuing to air the press briefings saying the White House is promoting false and misleading information.
Last Sunday, the White House had announced there would be no press conference before reversing the decision, in a rare occurrence, after the president said he needed to address reporters.

and on the Federal government hijacking PPE & critical medical supplies - passing them on to GOPers in battleground states rather than most in need
Trump is not doing these PCs for the good of the country. He's been doing them trying to shore up his election prospects.
He's facing a no win situation for his election prospects today so he's not going to show up.
