Briefings
Donald Trump vetoed journalist Andrew Feinberg's access to the presidential aircraft after a confrontation at the Oval Office. Feinberg, part of a rotating pool covering Trump's Iowa trip, was removed from the list following Trump's threats to silence him and questions about his health. The White House Press Association condemned the move as a restriction on reporting due to the journalist's behavior. This follows Trump's broader campaign against media, including vetting CNN and Politico journalists, though a judge previously suspended the CNN ban. Trump also insulted CNN and ABC reporters during recent interviews.
