This was reported by Politico.

According to the publication, Sputnik Washington correspondent Andrew Feinberg was denied accreditation to Congress.

According to the newspaper, the Congress press gallery made this decision due to the fact that there are no government-funded media employees in the ranks of this association. According to the director of the press gallery, Justin Wilson, cited by Politico, the agency has the opportunity to appeal this decision.
