Biden Aide Apologizes After Reporter Kept in Storage Closet During Fundraiser

(FoxNews.com) - The vice president's press secretary has apologized to a local political reporter after he was kept in a storage closet during a Florida fundraiser.

Scott Powers, a reporter with the 'Orlando Sentinel', was relegated to the storage space during a fundraiser Wednesday for Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., apparently to prevent him from speaking to people before Vice President Biden showed up. The 'Orlando Sentinel' published a brief account of the incident earlier in the week.
