White House Bars CNN from Trump's Presidential Flight
The network was excluded from the press pool traveling with the president to Tennessee, days after a judge ordered its White House access restored.
News network CNN was removed from the press pool scheduled to accompany US President Donald Trump on a flight to Tennessee, according to reports by France 24 and Greek outlet Ta Nea.
The decision to bar the network from the presidential aircraft comes just days after a federal judge temporarily ordered the reinstatement of credentials for journalists from CNN, Politico, and MS NOW, ruling that the administration's ban was likely unconstitutional.
German daily Handelsblatt noted that the move marks a further escalation in the ongoing conflict between Trump and major US media outlets. Further details regarding the network's official response have not yet been released.
