His tweets came shortly after the Washington Post reported that Trump wants to ban certain reporters from the White House press events.
“Trump has sought repeatedly to punish journalists for the way they ask him questions, directing White House staff to ban those reporters from covering official events or to revoke their press credentials, according to several current and former administration officials,” the Post noted on Friday.
