White House Blocks CNN From Air Force One Trip
Original: White House Blocks CNN From Air Force One
The White House barred CNN from joining President Trump aboard Air Force One on a Saturday trip to Tennessee, days after a court order had restored the network's access. CNN and two other outlets had previously been banned from the White House, and the move is being widely read as a renewed escalation in the administration's conflict with the press.
Why now: It follows a court ruling restoring press access, so the administration's defiance is drawing major attention.
