JAKE TAPPER (HOST): Maggie, do you think it's possible that President-elect Trump, President Trump, will never do a press conference? Newt Gingrich has suggested that that's what he thinks should happen. 

MAGGIE HABERMAN: I think any assumption that what we know of in the White House is just going to continue is an erroneous one. I think there might be certain traditions that hold. I suspect there will be some form of a daily briefing. They are looking at traditional titles, communications director of some kind, press secretary. But I think it's possible that you will see the president, once he is president, just tweet out his thoughts or give one-off interviews and make his thoughts known that way. His press conferences, as you know, used to be very contentious sometimes. He would shoot down questions or tell people to sit down when he didn't like them. He is very, very good at controlling the information flow right now but it is disturbing in terms of access to a free press.
