She was ordered to exchange a seat closer to the front of the assigned press corp seating with another reporter representing a different news outlet seated in the rear. Collins’ assigned seat was on the front row, where correspondents representing major networks like CNN, NBC, and others had been assigned seating in the briefing room under social distancing protocol, under a plan managed by the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) and agreed to by White House officials the previous month. Collins’ refusal to comply with the order issued by the White House official prompted that official to suggest that Secret Service may be summoned, a development that ultimately did not unfold.
