  "account": "The White House has prohibited CNN from accompanying President Donald Trump on Air Force One during his upcoming trip to Tennessee.

A White House communication account on X emphasized that \"fake news\" does not have unrestricted access to every aspect of the White House, press conferences, and events. Regular television coverage in the United States resumed on Friday after the White House permitted reporters to enter the premises. President Trump is scheduled to attend a college American football game between the University of Tennessee and the University of Texas at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville on Saturday morning.",

The move is the latest in a battle between the White House and the media after it was forced to lift its ban on some news outlets. CNN was scheduled to fly with Trump for his trip to Tennessee for a college American football game until a note released on Friday…",
