While the WH punished reporters for asking Trump questions, Trump reveled in the attention of the print photographers allowed into the dinner spray, asking Doug Mills to send him photos so he could share them with Kim.
To the still photographers’ credit, they refused to shoot the dinner if no reporters were allowed in, which was the initial WH response. Because of that solidarity, a print and radio pooler were allowed in with the stills. Four print/wire reporters were still barred.
This @PhilipRucker @jdawsey1 story is accurate: Sanders told pool, moments after the spray where @JonLemire asked about Cohen, that print reporters were barred because of shouted questions, and when asked if it was because of DPRK, she hedged.

Would also add that Kim answering this @DavidNakamura question this morning (perhaps the first time he's ever responded to a reporter) is a signal he wasn't the one bothered by the shouted question.
