CNN removed from Trump press pool, despite judge order to reinstate White House access
US news outlet CNN has been removed from a press pool that is accompanying President Donald Trump on a trip to Tennessee on Saturday. Last week, CNN, along with MS NOW and Politico, was barred from White House access by the Trump administration, but a judge ordered it temporarily restored, saying the move was likely unconstitutional.
CNN has been removed from a press pool accompanying President Donald Trump on a trip to Tennessee. The White House had previously barred CNN, along with MSNBC and Politico, from White House access, but a judge ordered it temporarily restored, citing potential unconstitutionality.
The judge's ruling addressed "hard passes" to the White House grounds but did not directly address pool duties or Air Force One. Despite this, CNN was replaced by Real America's Voice News, a conservative network, for the president's trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, according to The Korea Times.
Trump is scheduled to attend a college football game between the University of Tennessee and the University of Texas. The White House's move to limit CNN's access is part of an ongoing dispute with First Amendment implications.
