Reporters traveling to report on POTUS's trip to the United Kingdom and Ireland for the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday peace agreement, have been pushing back on the White House this week over their lack of presidential access during the trip.
Reporters, whose news outlets are traveling with Biden to the United Kingdom and Ireland for the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday peace agreement and other engagements, have been pushing back on the White House this week over their lack of access to the president during the trip.
Biden did take two questions this week from NBC Today weathercaster Al Roker before the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday and appeared on Comedy Central last month after his last interview with a reporter on ABC's World News Tonight in February. But his last sit-down with a print publication was with the Associated Press last summer.
"Before he got on Air Force One, he took about five very newsy questions for all of you, which I think was very important for all of you and it’s also for the American people," press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Tuesday en route to Belfast, Northern Ireland."So it's more than President Trump and Obama combined, or President Obama and George W. Bush."
"Is the administration trying to protect the president from our questions?" Gray Television White House correspondent Jon Decker asked Monday.
