TV networks resume covering White House as press access fight continues

White House television networks have resumed live coverage of President Donald Trump's events, marking the first such access for Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit. The White House television press pool aired video of Xi's reunion with Trump at the National Archives, which houses the U.S. Constitution, on the final day of the Chinese leader's visit.

CNN, ABC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC previously barred from covering the White House events, but a federal judge ordered the ban lifted after it was deemed likely unconstitutional. However, concerns remain about the possibility of the ban being reinstated, as Trump has taken aggressive measures against the media since returning to office.
