White House reviews incident involving Epoch Times photographer handing a folder to Trump
Source: Washington Post
The White House has reviewed an incident last week in which a news photographer for the Epoch Times, a publication banned in China for its critical coverage, stepped into a restricted area and handed President Trump a folder during an official event.
The photographer, identified by other photojournalists as Samira Bouaou, passed the purple-colored folder to Trump as he was walking out of the East Room on Sept. 12 after delivering remarks at a reception for the Congressional Medal of Honor Society.

Trump accepted the folder and appeared to open it briefly as he departed before quickly shutting it, the witnesses said. It was not clear what was inside the folder. Photographers who asked Bouaou afterward why she did it and what the folder contained said she declined to provide details.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who discussed the incident with members of the White House Correspondents Association executive board, declined to answer questions about the matter. Bouaou was said by those who know her to have recently secured a White House hard pass from the Secret Service allowing her daily access to the press briefing room and other events.
