Watch Obama's Final Press Conference

The outgoing president will likely address his decision to grant Chelsea Manning clemency at his last White House press conference at 2:15 PM.

President Obama is set to address the media one final time as POTUS on Wednesday before he leaves the White House at the end of the week.

The outgoing president, who is currently riding high on a wave of elevated approval ratings, will likely address his decision to commute a large part of Chelsea Manning's 35-year prison sentence. On Tuesday, the White House announced via a press release that the former soldier detained at Fort Leavenworth military prison for leaking classified military documents to WikiLeaks will now be released on May 17, 2017—rather than 2045.

This could be the last civil White House press conference we'll get see for a few years, considering President-elect Trump's ongoing feud with news organizations he doesn't agree with. Incoming White House chief of staff Reince Priebus even hinted that the new administration would be making some "changes" to the press briefings going forward, and Trump told Fox and Friends this week that he might pick and choose which journalists are allowed in.

On the bright side, maybe at the next one we'll all finally find out what was actually inside all of those folders Trump wheeled out as a prop at his presser last week. Only time will tell.

In any case, watch Obama's press conference via livestream at 2:15 PM EST below.
