US Senate weighs significant restrictions on reporters covering the upcoming impeachment trial, including limiting the movements of reporters and upping security screenings for the press.
The group's chair, Sarah Wire, argued against the proposed restrictions in a Twitter thread.
Chair of the Senate Rules Committee Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, said some of the restrictions"appear to be necessitated just by the rules" and argued that penning reporters was done during the Clinton impeachment in 1999. "I have been in contact with both sides on this issue, I’ve made very clear — I’ve talked to Sen. Blunt about this — that I thought we should have open access for the press," Klobuchar, ranking member of the Rules Committee,."I think this is a big mistake…I wanted to actually open it more to allow laptops to use in the press gallery, in the chamber."
