CNN left off Air Force One as Trump admin signals new media restriction
The White House signalled that CNN would be left off Air Force One for President Trump's Saturday trip, replaced by conservative outlet Real America's Voice News. This came just after banned reporters from three outlets returned to the White House, and the press video pool restarted. It affects US journalists covering the president, and shows access can shift quickly. Indian readers should follow verified outlets.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The White House signalled that CNN would be left off Air Force One for President Trump's Saturday trip and was replaced by Real America's Voice News, a conservative outlet.
- Reporters from three outlets banned last week from the White House grounds returned to the complex, and the US network video pool was back in operation for the first time since the ban.
- A judge temporarily struck down the ban in an overnight ruling early Thursday, but his ruling did not directly address the video pool.
