Spicer violates one hour rule on jobs data tweet
The White House hailed the February jobs report as strong but Sean Spicer tweeted 22 minutes after the Bureau of Labor Statistics release, violating the landmark one hour wait rule from the Office of Management and Budget. Analysts note the breach dates back to 1969 to preserve neutrality, with officials adopting written releases and later questions to avoid market disruption.
