Trump Team Boots Reporter For Questions To Stefanik

Deadline reports:

Donald Trump‘s campaign refused to agree to let an NBC News correspondent travel with him on New Hampshire campaign stops today as the designated pool reporter, leading to access being cut off for the day.

According to a pool report obtained by Deadline, correspondent Vaughn Hillyard was informed “that if he was the designated pooler by NBC News that the pool would be cut off for the day.”

It’s believed by sources at the network that the campaign refused to allow Hillyard in the pool because of his questions on Saturday to Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), a Trump surrogate, about the E. Jean Carroll case.

“Do you believe E. Jean Carroll?” @VaughnHillyard asks Elise Stefanik.

Stefanik: “No, of course not… The media is so biased. This is just another example of the media being out of touch.”

Vaughn: “It’s not the media, it’s a jury that found he sexually abused E. Jean Carroll.” pic.twitter.com/8UIZCSmkUj
