Minor Annoyance: Police Officer Confiscates NYT John Harwood's Outdated Press Pass on Capitol Hill

NYT and CNBC political analyst John Harwood was spotted Wednesday on the first floor of the Senate side of Capitol with NBC News Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Andrea Mitchell. From the looks of it, they were rushing to an interview. But Harwood had an outdated press pass so a Capitol Policeman stopped him and confiscated the pass. “He was flummoxed,” our spy observed. Mitchell implored the officer that they had to get to an interview.
