White House guidance revealed on Friday that CNN will not be included on Air Force One for President Donald Trump's upcoming Saturday trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, amid an ongoing dispute with the First Amendment. CNN will be replaced by conservative network Real America’s Voice News for the president's visit to the college football game between the University of Tennessee and the University of Texas.
This decision came just after CNN journalists, alongside journalists from MS NOW and Politico, who were banned by Trump last week, returned to the White House grounds with TV cameras after a judge issued a temporary reprieve on the ban. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly's ruling on Thursday struck down the ban for "hard passes" to the White House grounds but did not directly address pool duties or Air Force One.
