Paul

Paul stands as one of the core White House correspondents C.J. Cregg names in her practiced roll call during a solitary briefing rehearsal in the darkened press room. Listed after Kevin and before Tom—amid David, Mark, Katie, Jessie, Phil, and others—he anchors the press corps roster C.J. commits to memory two days into the new administration. His inclusion highlights the journalists who shape her daily confrontations, their presence a constant pressure point as she prepares to field questions on issues like school prayer and Cornell Rooker's racial profiling comments.
