White House Correspondents’ Association Decries Trump Team’s “Retaliation” After POTUS Lashes Out At Reporter

The White House Correspondents’ Association has condemned the Trump administration for engaging in retaliation. WHCA President Jacqui Heinrich stated that the administration restricted a journalist's access because the president was upset by specific questions. Heinrich, a senior White House correspondent for Fox News, emphasized that the American public's right to an independent press relies on reporters being able to perform their duties. The association strongly objects to the decision to block access following the clash.
