Senator Barrasso Addresses White House Reporter Restrictions

Senator John Barrasso, R-Wyo., addressed questions Sunday about the Trump administration's Friday decision to deny White House access to reporters from Politico, MS NOW, and CNN. Some individuals raised concerns that the action might violate the Constitution.

Barrasso stated he did not believe the administration's actions constituted a constitutional violation. He offered his perspective during a television interview Sunday morning.

Reporters from the three news organizations sought to cover events at the White House on Friday. White House staff informed them they could not enter the premises.

This action prompted discussion among various commentators regarding press access and constitutional parameters.
