Trump kicks The Independent's White House reporter off Air Force One a day after berating him in the Oval Office

Andrew Feinberg was due to take the print pool seat on Thursday's flight to a rally in Sioux City, Iowa. An unsigned email from the White House press office struck him off the trip and gave no reason. Fifteen outlets share that seat on an alphabetical rotation. Feinberg says he is writing 'under duress' and insists Trump 'can't silence me'.

Trump repeatedly ordered Feinberg to be 'quiet' during an Oval Office announcement on fraud.

A White House aide had confirmed on Monday that Feinberg was pencilled in for the Iowa trip.

Seth Myers mocked Trump on air: 'Were you trying to yell at him or were you trying to connect?'
