Donald Trump banned NBC reporter Vaughn Hillyard from traveling with the campaign Sunday after Hillyard pressed Rep. Elise Stefanik, who is widely consider a top potential vice presidential pick for Trump, about E. Jean Carroll’s allegations of sexual abuse and defamation by the former president.
The news was shared by Puck’s Dylan Byers, who explained that Hillyard was set to be the pool reporter covering Trump’s campaign on Sunday for multiple media outlets. But he was banned in what Byers reported was “retribution” for the interview where he asked Stefanik about Carroll’s accusations against Trump.
