Any donation to this government is always done in full compliance with the law,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday.

The White House Correspondents Association says it is disturbed that no reporters from either The Associated Press, Bloomberg or Reuters were allowed on Air Force One to cover President Donald Trump's trip to the Middle East on Monday.

Security experts told BI that the work required to make a plane from Qatar ready to be Air Force One would be like building a new plane.

Reporters from major news services were barred from traveling aboard Air Force One for President Trump’s high-stakes trip through the Middle East — an unprecedented move that was slammed by the White House Correspondents’ Association.

Trump left with a host of press aboard Air Force One, but for the first time in decades, no one from the Associated Press, Reuters, or Bloomberg was with him.
