Conway promises press conference 'soon'

Donald Trump's former campaign manager said Monday the president-elect will hold a press conference "soon," but that Trump is very busy planning and filling spots in his nascent administration.

"Soon, but he just has action-packed days filled with meetings," Kellyanne Conway told reporters during a 12-minute gaggle in the lobby of Trump Tower. "These days are overscheduled with meetings. We have people coming in from all over the country meeting with him to give their advice, their counsel, their experience, their vision for the country."

Going back to Jimmy Carter, no president-elect has waited as long as Trump to address the country after winning.

Trump has given a few interviews, and on Monday met off the record with top executives of America's news and cable TV networks. Conway also said Trump will meet with The New York Times tomorrow.

It's been months, however — going back to July 27 — since Trump has held a news conference.
