Donald Trump blocking Iowa newspaper from rally raises questions

Questions have been raised after two journalists were initially denied entry to a Donald Trump campaign event in Iowa this week.

Lisa Grouette, a journalist for Iowa's Globe Gazette, said on Monday that she had been denied media entry to Trump's event being held on Friday in Mason City.

"I just reapplied for credentials for me and our political reporter, but as it sits, it looks like, without any explanation, we're not being allowed to cover the Trump rally in Mason City on Friday," Grouette wrote on X, formerly Twitter, sharing a screenshot of the denial email. The email did not offer an explanation as to why both reporters were being denied entry to the event.
