LIVE VIDEO: Obama Holds Final Press Conference, Questions About Chelsea Manning Likely To Dominate

NBC News reports:

President Obama will officially bid farewell to the Fourth Estate on Wednesday when he holds the final press conference of his presidency. It will be the 165th time Obama faces the White House press corps in this kind of forum, according to the American Presidency Project.

Like his predecessors, Obama left dealing with the White House press corps to press secretaries like Josh Earnest, who presided over his final briefing on Tuesday. Obama crashed the briefing and thanked Earnest for his service but split without answering any questions from reporters about the incoming Donald Trump administration.

At his last presser, Obama is expected to tackle his decision to commute the sentence of former U.S. Army soldier Chelsea Manning, who was convicted of leaking classified information to WikiLeaks.
