Russian State Media Gets Access To White House Meeting While U.S. Press Kept Out

But what about her emails, right? We TRIED to warn them, but it was too much fun dragging the uppity woman for them to listen.

On the morning after President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, he met with Russia’s foreign minister in the White House.

The Wednesday meeting was especially newsworthy given the timing and circumstances, with Comey having reportedly just asked for more resources to investigate Trump associates’ ties to Russia and the earlier conclusion of the U.S. intelligence community that Vladimir Putin’s government interfered in the presidential election to boost Trump.

The White House declared the meeting with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to be closed press, meaning that reporters couldn’t attend and cover independently.

But one outlet did get in: TASS, a Russian state media organization.

Several journalists also highlighted the unusual situation whereby the U.S. press became reliant on Russian government handouts for details about the U.S. president’s meeting.
