As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by FOXNEWS.COM:
The pool reporter who was designated to cover a Joe Biden fundraising call with Wall Street players Thursday evening apparently had an early night.
The NBC News pool reporter said she was able to listen to Biden’s opening remarks but was “quickly kicked off the phone call” once the likely Democrat nominee opened the floor to questions.
The article goes on to state the following:
“The last thing your pooler heard was Biden thanking donors and saying he was “open to questions” before a robotic voice exclaimed “goodbye,” Marianna Sotomayor wrote.

“Tonight’s fundraiser was definitely different than previous ones and the Biden campaign’s @rufusgifford explains it could be the “new format as we enter a new phase of the general election campaign.” He assures transparency “one that vastly exceeds” that of Trump and his campaign,” Sotomayor wrote in a Twitter post.
