Does "reports...from the White House" mean "the news reports (were sent) from the White House"? It is odd because the reports are about Trump wears face mask at Ford plant. Aren't the reporters suppsed to be the plant too (otherwise, how could you capture the image in which Trump wears a mask?)

My guess is that when they were still in the White House on the way to Ford plant, reporters reported it there. Hence "the reports were from the White House." Am I correct?

Other American news sources are saying he only wore a mask for a few seconds.

Okay. But you've not answered my question of "reports...from the White House."

Not to me-they were sent by journalists who had a connection.

"TODAY" is the name of a TV network morning show. She is reporting from the White House. For the show "TODAY." It's not an official communication from the government.

She's reporting working for newspaper called TODAY. That's the paper she's reporting for.

She's at the White House (the US presidential palace) when she makes the report.
