Shaun Tandon, president of the State Department Correspondents Association, said in a statement that reporter Michele Keleman was in rotation as the radio pool reporter but was removed. He noted that it “comes days after Secretary Pompeo harshly criticized the work of an NPR host.

Pompeo abruptly ended the interview after Kelly asked questions about Ukraine and pressed him for specific instances in which he defended Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to that country who was recalled from her post last spring.
