The CNN reporter who is the partner of the new White House press secretary has been barred from covering politics as long as her partner remains in the position, CNN said on May 6.
Suzanne Malveaux, the reporter, is in a relationship with Karine Jean-Pierre, who has been the White House’s principal deputy press secretary and was named Thursday as the successor to outgoing press secretary Jen Psaki.
Malveaux is described on CNN’s website as the network’s national correspondent, covering national and international news.
Because of Jean-Pierre’s promotion, that coverage will not include politics, according to the network.
