WATCH: Journalist From The Nation Forcibly Removed From Trump-Putin Presser

A journalist who has been identified by several reporters as Sam Husseini who was seemingly reporting for American weekly magazine The Nation, was forcibly removed from the presser with Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Just minutes before the two leaders were set to step out to address the press, Husseini, who appeared to be credentialed, seemingly was asked to leave the room.

It appears he left peaceably, then came back for his things, and held up a sign addressing the nuclear weapons test ban, at which point he was forcibly removed from the premises.
