A White House reporter for CNN was disinvited from a Rose Garden photo opportunity Wednesday after having lobbed questions at President Trump as the pool reporter earlier in the day.
According to[1] CNN, when the photo-op was announced, Kaitlan Collins was told by Bill Shine, the White House deputy chief of staff for communications, and chief spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders that she could not come.
“They said ‘You are disinvited from the press availability in the Rose Garden today,’” Ms. Collins said.
Ms. Collins had earlier, as the White House “pool reporter” for an early afternoon meeting in the Oval Office between Mr. Trump and Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, asked Mr. Trump some questions about his ex-attorney Michael Cohen and Russian President Vladimir Putin....
“They said that the questions I asked were inappropriate for that venue. And they said I was shouting,” Ms. Collins said.
