As Donald J. Trump visited a Pizza Ranch restaurant for a campaign event here on Friday, a New York Times reporter was ejected by Trump staff members and a local police officer.
“It’s a private event, you have to go,’’ the officer said, even though about 20 other television and digital reporters continued to cover the event.
A Trump campaign aide walking beside the officer said The Times was being excluded on orders from “Chuck and Stephanie,’’ an apparent reference to Mr. Trump’s Iowa state director, Chuck Laudner, and his wife, Stephanie, also a staff member.
