President Barack Obama frequently used his trips abroad to highlight the importance of a free press, making leaders from more repressive regimes — from China and Ethiopia to Cuba and Vietnam — stand at his side and answer questions from the media.

On Wednesday afternoon, Obama will direct this message at someone far closer to home: Donald Trump.

In an interview with POLITICO, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama will use his final news conference to highlight his concerns about the restrictions on the media that the president-elect put in place during his campaign and transition, and what it might mean for his administration.

He'll save Bowe Bergdahl's pardon for after the press conference. Will there be any questions on the Manning commutation? I'm not holding my breath.
