It's not clear what the blowback will be from the White House, which has been keeping the briefings off of its livestreams and releasing written transcripts hours later. We reached out to the press office for comment.
On Pavlovic's audio posts many thanked the reporter for making the White House's comments more accessible. She was commended for being courageous and gutsy for posting the off-limits audio.
