Hyde-Smith declined a hallway interview as officers moved between her and a journalist asking about Nolan Wells’s death.

A video appears to show Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith moving toward Capitol Police as a journalist tried to ask about Nolan Wells’s death; the officers then moved between them. Hyde-Smith’s office and Capitol Police did not respond to questions, while a separate court order restoring White House press access forms part of the article’s broader discussion of journalists’ access.
