President-elect Donald Trump may prefer rallies to press conferences, but he did take the time to have an off-the-record chat with reporters the evening of December 18.

The half-hour conversation took place at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, The Hill reports. Wife Melania, incoming Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and advisers Kellyanne Conway, Stephen Miller and Jason Miller were at the gathering, which was listed in a presidential pool report.

What was discussed is not known.

This is not the first off-the-record media meeting the president has arranged. High profile media figures and network executives flocked to Trump Tower in Manhattan for another off-the-record chat last month — and complained afterward about only being berated by the GOP victor. 

Trump has not held a press conference in 140 days, The Hill points out.
