Witnesses said a security agent “choke slammed” the photojournalist after he stepped out of the press pen during Trump’s rally in Virginia.
Gabby Morrongiello, a reporter for the Washington Examiner, told BuzzFeed News:
"I believe he was trying to exit the press pen to get a closer shot of a group of students who were protesting Trump. Yes, he was choke slammed and that's what landed him on the ground.
He was a credentialed member of the media, although Trump's staff is adamant about keeping reporters in the press pen until after the rally has concluded. I believe that is why he was handled like that."
It is unclear if the man was part of Trump's personal security or a Secret Service agent.
