A reporter from the Russian news agency Tass demolished in the controversial Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump and the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zensky and was selected by press secretary Karoline Leavitt of the White House.
The White House confirmed that the reporter was not on the approved list of media and was removed as soon as it was noted that he was in the oval, which made him a few feet removed from Trump and Zensky.
'Tass was not on the approved list of media for today's pole. As soon as it came to the attention of personnel personnel he was in the oval, he was guided by the press secretary. He is not on the approved list for the press conference, “said the White House.
The incident comes when the White House is recorded where news stores are allowed in the perspool, the small group of reporters who follow the president.

The Associated Press is excluded from the swimming pool and other events. Civil servants of the White House have repeatedly rejected reporters from that outlet of entering the Oval Office and the presidential press conference.
Reuters, usually in the perspool, was also excluded from the Oval Office meeting on Friday.
The White House can invite reporters from which it once keeps in the presidential events.
But the administration was also clear that the TASS reporter, who had included video in the oval, was not on the approved list of press.
