Senate Republicans back off proposed restrictions on media | TheHill

'Not OK,” Manu Raju, CNN’s senior congressional reporter, tweeted, using the Twitter handle for the Senate Sergeant at Arms. '

'Senate Republicans on Tuesday quickly backed away from a proposal to restrict media access in the Capitol after an angry backlash from reporters and an emergency meeting between the Senate Rules Committee and the media gallery directors. '

'Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of the most media-friendly senators, told reporters in the Senate subway. '

'So he seemed to imply that they weren't going to change the policy," Klobuchar told reporters. '

'Last month, the Senate Sergeant at Arms sent a note to media outlets warning about overcrowding as reporters try to pin down lawmakers for interviews in hallways and around the Senate subway system. '
