White House reporters are balking at Communications Director Steven Cheung’s paranoid assertion that they are resorting to spy-like tactics to report on the administration.
On Friday, the Trump administration, which calls itself “The Most Transparent Administration In History!”, banned reporters from “Room 140,” an area of the White House that houses the offices of Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Cheung, and other key staffers, unless they make an appointment. The move follows the Pentagon barring reporters from working in the building unless they agreed to only publish talking points from the Department of Defense.
Cheung said the highly-restrictive move was done because reporters were “secretly recording video and audio of our offices,” wandering “into restricted areas,” “eavesdropping on private, closed-door meetings,” and harassing Cabinet members. He did not provide evidence for these claims.
