A recent White House meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky made headlines due to the exclusion of certain press outlets. The AP and Reuters were barred from the Oval Office, while a reporter from the Russian state-owned news agency TASS reportedly sneaked in before being escorted out by White House staff. The administration's handling of press access reflects ongoing tensions with the media, particularly concerning the management and control of press coverage, which has seen the White House spar with established news organizations.
The White House quickly pushed back on reports claiming a TASS reporter was invited, asserting he snuck in and was promptly removed by staff once discovered.
President Trump's administration continues its contentious relationship with the White House press, barring outlets while allowing others, like TASS, to cover important meetings.
