Trump’s Press Secretary “screams” at reporters to leave after meeting with healthcare execs
The Trump administration’s open hostility to the media and their pesky questions is infamous at this point, but it still is astonishing to see the way that the free press is treated in this White House.
Eyebrows were raised around the country as White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham was recorded angrily yelling at reporters to leave the room following a meeting between President Trump and health care industry executives as the president sat there looking uncomfortable.

The open press portion of the meeting was concluded without the reporters getting a chance to ask the President any questions about the spread of coronavirus or the government’s response to the crisis.
This is not the first time that a White House staffer has angrily ordered reporters out of the room; the same thing happened a few months ago, just minutes after the President disparaged the media for being “dangerous” and “corrupt.”
