It was an unusual press conference, hastily organised after President Donald Trump apparently told his staff that he wanted to address reporters.
The exchanges were ferocious, mainly attacking the media, whose dishonesty, he said, was out of control.
It included the moment when he told an African-American journalist to set up a meeting between him and a group of black lawmakers, suggesting that they knew each other.
It started when April Ryan asked the president about including the Congressional Black Caucus in discussions about issues related to the African-American community.
Ms Ryan, who is White House correspondent and Washington bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks, first used the group's acronym CBC, but Mr Trump apparently did not recognise it.
