The Trump campaign has revoked press credentials for several journalists intending to attend the president’s election night party at the White House, according to multiple reports. The move has raised concerns about the administration’s commitment to press freedom, with critics accusing Trump of trying to silence dissent.
The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) has condemned the decision, calling it “unprecedented” and “an attack on the freedom of the press.” The WHCA represents more than 600 journalists who cover the White House and has traditionally been granted access to all presidential events.
The Trump campaign has not yet released a statement explaining the decision to revoke press credentials. However, several journalists have reported that they were told they were being denied access because they had been critical of the president in the past.
