Why Don't You Wear a Suit?': A Right-Wing News Outlet With Coveted Access Questions Zelensky
Briefly

During a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Trump, press correspondent Brian Glenn questioned Zelensky's choice to not wear a suit, implying a lack of respect for his office. This incident introduced Glenn's outlet as part of the White House press pool, alongside CNN, a change made suddenly, suggesting a shift in media dynamics. Meanwhile, traditional press outlets like The Associated Press faced restrictions from the White House, affecting their participation in coverage. The exchange brought attention to issues of appearance and media access at high-level meetings.
A voice from the press section joined the chorus of people demanding answers from President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine on Friday, during a meeting with President Trump and his associates.
Mr. Glenn's outlet was selected to take a secondary TV role in the White House press pool alongside CNN on Friday, a position that did not exist before this week.
That access was granted as the White House continued to block reporters from The Associated Press from attending, according to a schedule sent out by the White House.
Mr. Glenn's comments about Mr. Zelensky's appearance echoed Mr. Trump's on Friday as the Ukrainian leader stepped out of his car at the White House.
