Clinton Aide Follows Reporter to the Bathroom at CGI

Clinton Aides Follow Reporters To The Bathroom At CGI (Washington Free Beacon)

New York Times reporter Amy Chozick said a Clinton aid followed her to the bathroom while she was covering the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting in New York on Wednesday.

In what the Washington Post has called an episode that “reflects the dark and, frankly, paranoid view the Clintons have toward the national media,” Chozick received a dismissive answer after inquiring about the Clinton team’s practice of hovering over reporters:

An escort is required wherever we go, lest one of us with our yellow press badges wind up somewhere where attendants with an esteemed blue badge are milling around. When asked about the practice, Craig Minassian, a spokesman for the initiative, directed me to a press release about American Standard’s Flush for Good campaign to improve sanitation for three million people in the developing world. “Since you are so interested in bathrooms and C.G.I,” Mr. Minassian said.
