UPDATED: White House Correspondents’ Association President Jacqui Heinrich said that the Trump administration was engaged in retaliation by blocking a journalist’s access because the president was upset over his questions.
Heinrich, senior White House correspondent for Fox News, said in a statement on Wednesday, “The White House Correspondents’ Association strongly objects to the decision to restrict a journalist’s coverage simply because the president didn’t care for their questioning. That is retaliation. The American public’s right to an independent press depends on reporters being able to do their jobs without fear that challenging the president will cut off their access.”
