Lotter did not respond to HuffPost’s request for clarification as to what the campaign’s position is on reporters attending events with the public. The Trump campaign has also placed harsh restrictions on journalists’ movements at events, which have at times been enforced by the Secret Service. DelReal, who had already been denied entry with the press, was then also prohibited from attending as a member of the public. Even as Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has denied press credentials to news organizations throughout the 2016 election season, journalists generally have had another option: Get a ticket, like anyone else, and walk in. Trump placed the Post on his campaign’s media blacklist last month in response to the paper running a headline he considered unfair.
