White House Bars CNN From Trump Flight a Day After Credentials Restored
This decision marks the latest in the Trump administration's battle against CNN, MS NOW and Politico The post White House Bars CNN From Trump Flight a Day After Credentials Restored appeared first on TheWrap .
The White House has barred CNN from flying with President Donald Trump on Air Force One on Saturday, preventing the network from carrying out its duties as part of the White House TV press pool. This decision came a day after CNN, MSNBC, and Politico regained their White House credentials under a court order following the president's ban on the outlets last week.
Trump had previously banned the three outlets from the White House on Friday, stating that they were writing "constantly" negative stories about his administration. CNN, Politico, and MS NOW subsequently sued the Trump administration over the revocation of their credentials, arguing that it threatened press freedom and the public's right to independent journalism.
Despite the court order reinstating their credentials, the White House has barred CNN from the flight to Tennessee, where Trump was set to attend a college football game. A White House representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the decision.
