<p>White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down CNN&#8217;s Kaitlan Collins during Wednesday&#8217;s press briefing as she aggressively tried to ask a follow up question.</p>
<p>The exchange happened as Collins asked about the story The Atlantic published this week — about a Signal chat group where top Trump administration officials discussed a forthcoming strike on Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.</p>
<p>&#8220;Since we have these messages released, and you said that the President has now personally reviewed them, in the chat at one point, Pete Hegseth said wrote &#8216;1415, strike drones on target,&#8217; and in all caps, he said, &#8216;this is when the first bombs will definitely drop,&#8217; does the President feel that he was misled by his national security advisors, whoever it was that told him there was no classified information in there now that he&#8217;s seen these messages?&#8221; Collins asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve now been asked and answered this question three times by the both of you, and I&#8217;ve given you my answer,&#8221; Leavitt responded. &#8220;The President feels the same today as he did yesterday.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Sorry, my follow up on what you had just said,&#8221; Collins interjected as Leavitt moved to call on another reporter.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kaitlin, I&#8217;m not taking your follow up,&#8221; Leavitt fired back.</p>
<p>Collins interrupted: &#8220;I have a follow up on something you just said though, Karoline, that&#8217;s regarding&#8211;.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Kaitlin I&#8217;m not taking your follow up,&#8221; Leavitt responded. &#8220;Philip, go ahead. I have called on you.&#8221;</p>
