Briefing by Press Secretary Josh Earnest, Obama Administration
This photograph, taken by Matthew D'Agostino, shows a press briefing that was held in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room in the West Wing of the White House on April 6, 2015, during the Barack Obama administration. During the Easter Monday briefing, press secretary Josh Earnest accompanied Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz in a discussion of the developing framework for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal. The Press Room was created in 1969 under President Richard M. Nixon in a location previously used as a swimming pool. In 2000, it was renamed the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room in honor of the press secretary to former President Ronald Reagan.
