"Gaggles" historically refer to informal briefings the press secretary conducts with the press pool rather than the entire press corps....they were more or less off the record, and their purpose was mostly to exchange information - the president's schedule and briefing schedule, from the administration side; heads-up on likely topics or early comment on pressing issues, from the news side https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_gaggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing important going on at this gaggle - Spicer is just straightening out the questions to be asked in the first presidential debate. That's why CNN wasn't invited - Spicer doesn't want Cory Booker to hear then first! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
