Members of the White House press corps are now restricted from the press secretary’s office, the latest in a series of Trump administration actions to limit media access.
The move broke from generations of precedent and added to the Trump administration’s growing list of restraints on the news media.
The move limiting free press access to Room 140, which houses the offices of the press secretary and other staff, was said to be based on national security.
New restrictions placed on journalists by the White House and Pentagon have sparked concerns from media organizations.
