Russian Reporter Removed from Trump-Zelensky Meeting Access

A reporter from Russia's state-owned news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to an Oval Office meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky but was quickly removed once White House officials realized the mistake. Although TASS was not on the approved list of media allowed to cover the meeting, the reporter was initially permitted entry, raising concerns about White House press access protocols. White House officials confirmed the incident, stating that they escorted the TASS reporter out as soon as it was brought to their attention. Multiple sources, including journalists and officials, highlighted the confusion surrounding the reporter's entry. This incident reflects ongoing tensions regarding media coverage and access to presidential events. The White House has not provided details on how the oversight occurred or commented further on the matter.
