White House bars CNN from covering upcoming Trump trip, broadcaster says

Trump announced he was banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, citing what he called their fake news coverage, and the outlets subsequently had their access badges revoked. CNN, MS NOW, and Politico sued the administration, arguing the ban violated their constitutional rights, while the Justice Department defended the move by citing national security concerns and describing White House access as a privilege rather than a right. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order requiring the White House to restore the outlets' access, and television networks paused their pool coverage of Trump; the White House later also barred CNN from Air Force One for an upcoming trip.
