Kaitlan Collins screen image
CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins was banned from President Trump’s presser in the Rose Garden at the White House Wednesday afternoon after she blurted out ‘inappropriate’ questions earlier at the Oval Office spray.
Earlier Wednesday, President Trump met with President of EU Commission Jean Claude Juncker in the Oval Office to reach an agreement on trade.
Reporters in the pool spray, including Collins began to blurt out questions to the President. Collins thought it was an appropriate time to bring up Michael Cohen and the secret tapes as Juncker sat next to President Trump.
“Did Michael Cohen betray you, Mr. President?” Collins yelled.
Collins also asked President Trump if he was worried about what Cohen is about to say to prosecutors.
CNN hit back at the White House in a statement.
“Collins was told by White House deputy chief of staff for communications Bill Shine and press secretary Sarah Sanders that her questions were ‘inappropriate.’ They were not,” CNN said in a statement.
