- Story Text: There has been no shortage of news in the first 40-some days of a Trump administration, and reporters at the White House are fueling up with caffeine -- with a cup on actor Tom Hanks.
Hanks sent an espresso machine to the White House press corps on Wednesday (March 2) as part of a Hanks tradition. The Oscar-winning actor sent coffee machines to the last two administrations as well. Hanks reportedly sent the second machine because the first was very dirty.
But this one came with a special message for White House journalists under this administration: "To the White House Press Corps Keep up the good fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Especially for the Truth Part." - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
