House Speaker Jason White’s office barred a Mississippi Today reporter from attending a press conference in the speaker’s office at the state Capitol on Monday.
White, a Republican and one of the most powerful government officials in the state, held the closed-door press conference inside his office at the Capitol. White conducted a question-and-answer session with numerous members of the media about the 2026 legislative session that began Tuesday, according to a press release obtained by Mississippi Today.
The decision by the speaker’s office followed a Mississippi Today exclusive report in April that White, his staff and some of their spouses were treated to a trip to the 2025 Super Bowl by a sports-gambling company.
