ThinkProgress.org has learned from a source in the White House briefing room that the reporter we’ve dubbed “Jeff Gannon Jr.” does not have the first name John. (See the original post for background)
It seems John Roberts of CBS News asked a follow-up to Gannon Jr.’s question, creating the confusion. Said source does not know who asked the question.
We will continue our efforts to track down Gannon Jr.’s true identity. Check back here for updates.
