Trump clashes with female CNN reporter at UN over press access

me.mashable.com —

Donald Trump confronted CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins at the United Nations General Assembly, telling her she "should not be here" covering him, an exchange that went viral amid an ongoing dispute over White House press access. The confrontation followed Trump's ban of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House over unsubstantiated "FAKE NEWS" claims. The outlets sued, and major networks suspended pooled coverage of the president in protest. Collins noted CNN's UN credentials justified her presence. Critics accused Trump of targeting female journalists, citing his past comments on her appearance. A federal judge will decide on restoring press access.
