Reporters from The New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC banded together Thursdsay to complain when NBC News’ Hallie Jackson was cut off after the allowed two questions in Poland.
Jackson was asking Trump about Obama’s response to Russian interference and why Trump wouldn’t admit Russia was behind election interference given some intelligence agencies have already pegged them as responsible.
When she tried to go for an additional question, Polish officials cut her off.

Jackson claimed she was asking a “follow-up” rather than a full third question.
Technically, it was a follow-up. Per protocol, was also about to ask a Q of President Duda of Poland (before they cut the mic.) https://t.co/lZFHfPb38D

After Trump said Obama “choked,” @HallieJackson tried to ask if he was angry at Obama — “Why haven’t you shown that anger toward Moscow?”
