CNN host Kaitlan Collins credited White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt for defending the journalist while on a presidential trip to Saudi Arabia. Collins explained on Heather McMahan's "Absolutely Not" podcast that she was in Saudi Arabia on a trip covering President Donald Trump's visit to the country and noted the Saudis famously do not like the media. "I could see them like, whispering, and pointing about me," Collins said. "And some of the younger White House staff, they are with the press, weren't really sure what to do, and they went to Karoline and, to her credit, she said, 'No, Kaitlan's coming in with the rest of the U.S. press,' and we went in. And, so, it didn't become this huge issue. foxnews.com
