White House Warns Reporter Over Repeated Briefing Disruptions

  • Journalist Simon Ateba received a warning letter from the White House citing multiple instances of interruption during press briefings.
  • The letter states that Ateba's continued interruptions impede other reporters and disrupt briefings.
  • Ateba claims the warning stems from a "hit piece" in the Washington Post and alleges racism and censorship.
  • Under new rules, Ateba is unlikely to have his press credentials renewed due to his behavior.
  • The White House warns that Ateba's press pass may be revoked if interruptions continue after a seven day response period.
