Incoming White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham received bruises when she got caught in the middle of a tussle between U.S. reporters and North Korean security officials during President Donald Trump's trip to the Demilitarized Zone dividing North and South Korea.
North Korean guards pushed and shoved members of the U.S. press pool as they tried to block the reporters from entering the room, The Associated Press reported. Grisham was injured and left with bruises in the exchange, which ended when Secret Service agents intervened. "To add to madcap day at DMZ, the North Korean security was a little overzealous, at times trying to block US reporters’ view," tweeted Jennifer Jacobs, senior White House correspondent for Bloomberg.
Story continuesApparently some of the Korean security team did not want the US press in the Kim/Trump meeting. New press secretary @StephGrisham45 was not having it, physically clearing the way for the WH press pool by elbowing and pushing aside a security guard.A video appearing to show at least part of the incident, which a source described to CNN as a"brawl," was shared on social media.
