CNN Responds to Trump: "We demand better" - re CNN Press being denied access at WH event.





CNN reporter says White House officials told her, “You are dis-invited from the press availability in the Rose Garden today. They said that the questions I asked were inappbropriate for that venue. And they said I was shouting."

What @KaitlinCollins asked Trump, hours before being "disinvited" from Rose Garden event:

— "Did Michael Cohen betray you, Mr. President?"

— "Are you worried about what is on the other tapes?"

— "Why is Vladimir Putin not accepting your invitation?"

President Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed Wednesday morning by a man with a pickax that witnesses say he carried in a guitar case, police said.

Officers were called around 3:30 a.m. to the star's location on Hollywood Boulevard near Highland Avenue, where they found a small pile of rubble in place of the star that Trump received in January 2007 for his role in the NBC show "The Apprentice."

A detailed description of the star-smashing suspect was not immediately available.

This is at least the second time Trump's star has been vandalized in the last two years. In October 2016, a man dressed as a construction worker smashed the star with a pickax and sledgehammer. James Otis pleaded no contest to felony vandalism in February 2017 and was sentenced to three years probation, 20 days of community service and agreed to pay $4,400 for the damage.
