White House leaves CNN off upcoming Trump trip on Air Force One

The White House has blocked CNN from traveling with US President Donald Trump on Air Force One for a trip to Tennessee. According to The Guardian US, CNN had been scheduled to fly with Trump to a college football game. The White House confirmed CNN's exclusion when it did not list the network on guidance sent to the press corps regarding Trump's schedule for Saturday.

This move is part of an ongoing dispute between the Trump administration and the media. The White House had previously banned CNN, along with MSNBC and Politico, from White House events, before a judge ordered the administration to restore their access. Despite the judge's order, CNN reported that its journalists were still denied entry to the White House.

The exclusion of CNN from the trip to Tennessee was reported by several outlets, including The Washington Post, which cited unnamed sources. The White House and CNN did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
