Trump campaign blocks NBC journalist from New Hampshire event

Vaughn Hillyard excluded a day after pressing Republican Elise Stefanik on whether Trump had sexually assaulted E Jean Carroll

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign reportedly blocked an NBC News journalist from covering campaign events in New Hampshire on Sunday.

Sunday’s exclusion of NBC News correspondent Vaughn Hillyard came when he was set to serve as a pool reporter. Instead of having a pack of reporters follow a candidate everywhere, campaigns will often allow television, print, and radio news organizations to send a single pool reporter to travel with them – and those reporters in turn then send a readout to other news outlets.
