“If this is the response to honest, fair, and sometimes critical reporting—like today’s piece on campaign manager Corey Lewandowski—it certainly will not intimidate Politico as we cover the campaign in the days ahead,” said Politico editor Susan Glasser, in a statement.
Politico now joins a growing roster of media outlets that have been banned from Trump events.
