No, this was not the reporter in the story
Vice President Joe Biden's communication team had to make an unusual apology last week for forcing a reporter to stay in closet.
During a fundraiser at the Florida home of Alan Ginsburg, Biden's staff escorted Orlando Sentinel reporter Scott Powers to a closet and asked him to stay there.
"Turns out the veep hadn’t arrived, but about 150 guests (minimum donation $500) were already in the house," according to the Sentinel. "So to prevent Scott from mingling with the crowd, a member of Biden’s advance team consigned him to a storage closet -- and then stood outside the door to make sure he didn’t walk out without permission."
