The White House announced it will hold an on-camera press briefing Wednesday with new press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
It marks the first briefing since new communications director Anthony Scaramucci tweeted Monday that the "the TV cameras are back on," a reference to returning to the tradition of holding live, recorded White House briefings.

Scaramucci confirmed later that the White House would again allow briefings to be televised. Since the Trump administration began, almost every on-camera briefing has aired in full on the main three cable news channels.
Sanders, formerly the deputy press secretary, was promoted last week when Sean Spicer resigned from the position on Friday. Sanders had already been handling the majority of briefings in recent weeks, and most of those had been off-camera, upsetting members of the press.
Scaramucci took multiple questions on the subject on Friday.
Wednesday's briefing promises to be closely watched, in the aftermath of President Donald Trump's announcement that transgender people would no longer serve in the U.S. military and the continued Republican efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare.
