White House limits reporters from press secretary’s office
White House reporters are now barred from the Upper Press office without an appointment, limiting access to press secretary Karoline Leavitt and other senior aides, including communications director Steven Cheung, whose office is now off-limits. The administration cites security and protection of sensitive material. The White House Correspondents’ Association opposes the change as a setback for transparency and accountability, noting reporters often wait outside the office during breaking news. Cheung alleged some journalists were caught photographing documents and eavesdropping—claims press corps leaders say they haven’t heard—while access is reduced to a smaller set of junior offices.
