Just fyi - That reporter wasn't on the approved list and was removed once white house staff became aware of their presence.

Are you saying they got into the oval office accidentally? That seems really hard to believe.

[ceejayoz]

"Russian state media wandered into the Oval Office without permission" really isn't a comforting explanation.

[TheAlchemist]

I've read that too. Do we seriously believe that a random person can get into the Oval Office, for one of the most important high level meeting of the past years ?

[krashidov]

this makes it even worse

[blacksqr]

This is what's know as "ass-covering."

[insane_dreamer]

I know they said that, but, really? Since when does an unauthorized person get access to the Oval Office? That would be a huge fail by the Secret Service.

[sunjieming]

Yeah, it's definitely a head-scratcher. I wonder how often unapproved people make it in. Seems like a major security risk to have someone unapproved in the room with that many high-level government leaders from multiple countries.

I'm wondering if they were given a pass by another approved news agency or something along those lines.

[insane_dreamer]

That’s why I think they are lying
