How Trump personally signed off on suspending Playboy reporter’s press pass
Early this month, shortly before the White House made its decision to temporarily yank the press credential of a Playboy reporter, Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office to go over putting Brian Karem in the penalty box.
Last month following a White House press conference in the Rose Garden, Karem, a flamboyantly outspoken, anti-Trump correspondent for Playboy, got into a heated exchange with bombastic former White House aide Sebastian Gorka after Karem said pro-Trump personalities present were “eager” to be possessed by demons.
“The president took questions from Mr. Karem after this incident in the Rose Garden took place, so if we were trying to silence him as he purports, the president wouldn’t have taken his questions,” Grisham contended. “We also said Playboy was welcome to send a reporter in his place in the 30 days. This was in our written communications... Playboy and Karem’s attorneys didn’t respond to it.”
In a court hearing on Tuesday, a U.S. District Court judge overseeing the case expressed skepticism of Karem’s argument that he was not threatening a physical altercation with Gorka. But the judge also seemed to push back against the White House’s rules about the professional conduct, and pointed out that the White House had ignored the conduct of some of its allies who were present during the confrontation.
Shortly after the verbal spat with Karem in the Rose Garden, Gorka headed over to the lobby bar and lounge area of the Trump International Hotel, just a short walk from the White House. When Gorka arrived at the hotel, numerous fans and strangers kept coming up to him, cheering him on and lauding Gorka for noisily confronting Karem, according to a source present at the time.
