Ordinarily, a member of the press is allowed to attend fundraisers during the first part of the event, while the President speaks to supporters.
President Obama held two such fundraisers in Washington D.C. in December, one of which ABC reporter Matt Negrin was ordered to leave the hotel for mingling with donors after the event.
