On February 13, 2017, founder Jim Hoft and Gateway Pundit's "freshly minted White House correspondent", 28-year-old artist Lucian Wintrich, were granted White House press credentials and attended the press conference with Trump and the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau. Wintrich has collaborated with Milo Yiannopoulos, a "strident" and "polarizing"[16] former editor at Breitbart News.[13] A February 13 article in The New York Times described Gateway Pundit as a "provocative conservative blog" that promotes "false rumors about voter fraud and Hillary Clinton’s health."[16] As official correspondents, Hoft and Wintrich can now attend all press briefings and address their questions to Sean Spicer White House press secretary. In an interview, Wintrich described how they will "be reporting far more fairly than a lot of the very left-wing outlets that are currently occupying the briefing room. We will be doing a little trolling of the media in general here."[16]
