Senators Query FCC Over Manhandling of Reporter After Meeting

A group of senators have fired off a letter to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, asking him for answers as to why a reporter was manhandled by a security guard as he tried to ask a question following a meeting on Thursday.

John M. Donnelly, a reporter for CQ Roll Call, said that he was shoved against a wall by two security guards after he tried to ask questions to an FCC commissioner.

“When Donnelly strolled in an unthreatening way toward FCC commissioner Michael O’Rielly to pose a question, two guards pinned Donnelly against the wall with the backs of their bodies until O’Rielly had passed,” according to a release sent out by the National Press Club. According to Donnelly, he was then asked to leave the building.

Hill GOPers Trot Out Tortured Defenses Of Trump As Pressure Builds

Republicans on Capitol Hill are still reeling from the waves of scandals that have hit Washington in quick succession over the last few days: President Donald Trump’s sudden firing of FBI Director James Comey, the admission he did so to in order put the kibosh on the bureau’s investigation of his own campaign, reports that Trump pressured Comey in a private meeting to drop that investigation, and news that Trump revealed highly classified Israeli intelligence to the Russians.

Any one of those revelations on its own could drive a wedge between a President and his own party in Congress. In combination, they threaten to derail Trump’s presidency entirely.
