'The State Department did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill. '
'The letter served as the latest episode in a dispute stemming from an interview Pompeo conducted with a different reporter for the outlet last week. '
'"If, in fact, the State Department has removed her from the trip, we ask that you immediately reverse that decision and permit Kelemen to join her press colleagues on the trip," the NPR executives wrote to Pompeo. '
'In public remarks from the White House on Tuesday, he said of Pompeo, "That reporter couldn't have done too good a job on you yesterday. '
'In a letter to the State Department on Tuesday, NPR President and CEO John Lansing and Senior Vice President of News Nancy Barnes called for the department to explain its “justification” for removing NPR diplomatic correspondent Michele Kelemen from the press group. '
