President Donald Trump's re-election campaign says it will deny credentials to Bloomberg News reporters after the media's owner became a presidential hopeful.
US President Donald Trump's re-election campaign says it will no longer issue press credentials to reporters working for Bloomberg News, the agency owned by Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg.
Mr Trump's re-election campaign made the announcement. It was not immediately clear whether the Trump White House would change how Bloomberg reporters are treated. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.Credentials enable reporters to more easily access rallies and other campaign events leading up to the November 2020 election. Members of the public must obtain tickets from the campaign and then wait in long lines to enter events.
"We will determine whether to engage with individual reporters or answer inquiries from Bloomberg News on a case-by-case basis."Mr Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor and billionaire media mogul who owns the eponymous news organisation, announced on November 24 that he would seek the Democratic nomination for president. Separately, he is spending $A147 million of his own money on digital ads attacking Trump.
