White House bans New York Post from attending Biden event
New York Post's Steven Nelson suggests the ban is tied to coverage of Hunter Biden
By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News
The White House barred the New York Post from attending President Biden's event on Monday with its reporter heavily suggesting the decision is tied to the looming legal troubles facing his son Hunter.
New York Post's White House correspondent Steven Nelson wrote he was not given press credentials he requested on Sunday to attend Biden's remarks on "Investing in Airline Accountability."
In emails obtained by Fox News Digital, White House staff replied to Nelson on Monday, "We are unable to accommodate your credential request to attend the Investing in Airline Accountability Remarks on 5/8. The remarks will be live-streamed and can be viewed at WH.gov."
"Thank you for understanding. We will let you know if a credential becomes available," White House staff added.
Nelson replied to the email with a list of questions about what he dubbed the White House's "mysterious prescreening program" that was implemented to curate which reporters can attend presidential events, pressing whether access is denied based on their coverage of the Biden administration. The White House did not respond to Nelson's inquiry.
