CNN WH pool reporter banned from WH press conference because she asked questions

about Cohen tape earlier in the day in the Oval Office. Kaitlan Collins was speaking to Wolf Blitzer on CNN about being blocked. Wolf says he can't recall that happening when he was a WH reporter.

See FB page "People's Bill Of Rights For White House Transparency".
