Cnn sues white house over revoked credentials of correspondent

The Washington Post, after weeks of allegations from a congressional source about the use of private email to conduct government business, fired one of its reporters in response to two emails from the newsroom about what the source said was a routine communications problem in the office.

After The Post sent an email about the issue to press secretary Sean Spicer in late September, Spicer forwarded the account and asked whether the reporters had “received a letter that states that your emails are being subject to investigation?”

Spencer’s response: “Oh, wow. It’s not from the White House Press Office?”

Spicer did not say how the reporter knew, but The Post said Tuesday it has since learned that the emails contained evidence of White House officials’ concern about whether or not Spicer had followed protocol.

Spicer’s firing came one day afte인터넷 카지노r The Washington Post’s chief legal officer, Marc Elias, wrote to the editor of its newspaper, the New York Times, asking the newspaper to fire senior gta5카지노news and communications editors who published inaccurate or false information about President Trump Donald John TrumpAvenatti: Third Kavanaugh accuser will prove credible against Kavanaugh, other ‘privileged white guys’ who defend him Grassley’s office says it has received profane phone calls amid Kavanaugh fight Trump admin official once questioned if using n-word was racist: report MORE.

Elias said the newspaper had made the decision to fire the news-gathering staffers because some had repeatedly told him about their concerns that the emails were being improperly handled.

“I would think there would be a pretty good chance that there would be a discussion about the conduct of those i건마nvolved in the emails on either their part or ours,” Elias said in his letter Tuesday to the editor, the New York Times.

“In our judgment, because this matter has only just come to our attention, we decided to make it public and to publish your account of it,” he continued.

One of the top news producers at the White House at that time was Matt Miller, who had recently been promoted to acting White House press secretary after Spicer’s departure.

The former White House press secretary told multiple news outlets he had been given private email accounts from the time he joined the newspaper in October, but he said he was surprised that his first email came after the New York Times started publishing The Post’s story about the issues.
