The revelation has raised questions about the relationship between the government and the media, as well as the willingness of news organizations to engage in off-the-record meetings with the administration.
“Campaign officials have chafed at some of the coverage of former President Donald Trump, feeling that outlets are too focused on his legal troubles and haven’t paid enough attention to some of his incendiary recent statements on the campaign trail,” Semafor news site wrote.
