Staff for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) reportedly blocked some reporters from attending Wednesdays event with the governor and former President Donald Trump, who was visiting the border in the Rio Grande Valley.
Abbott and his staff are blocking press access to his event today with Trump, CNNs Jim Acosta wrote on Twitter. Theyve decided to turn their roundtable discussion into a pool coverage event. However, in addition to pool, Abbotts team is selectively allowing certain non-pool outlets into the event.
Pool reporters are those selected by their respective media outlets to regularly attend press conferences on their beat.
I was also excluded, Olivia Beavers lamented in a follow-up message. We received no heads up beforehand that this was the set-up or change of plans, after traveling down to cover this. Id registered with Gov. Abbotts team ahead of time.
