Communications on Trump's wire tap allegations are on lock down while White House legal staff figure out what should be said, I'm told.

If they're letting the lawyers manage this, then either they've acquired new discipline, or the lawyers have told them they're in deep s—. https://t.co/Z5Cnlqfx2S

Pool reporters are no longer at Mar-a-Lago and were told they can't return tonight. So no further access to president or chance to quiz him. https://t.co/aVLqXQcjC6

I think Trump is just trying to kill the press by never letting them have a day off.

… Release the danged alligators, already!…
CNN:
… With so much on the administration’s plate — leaks, Russia story, pending executive order and Obamacare repeal and replacement — Priebus said he would not go to Florida with the President this weekend as had been previously planned, a source told CNN. He was on the manifest, and a big donor reception by the Republican National Committee which Priebus used to chair was on Preibus’ schedule.
But the President said he thought it wouldn’t be a good idea since he is not happy with the state of matters right now, the same source said.
A White House official disputed that Priebus was supposed to travel to Florida, adding that he stayed home this weekend for a family celebration.
White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who initially decided to also stay in Washington Friday, ended up traveling to Florida Saturday and is joining Trump, Sessions, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross at dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
