  "summary": "The White House has blocked CNN from traveling with President Donald Trump on Air Force One for a trip to Tennessee. According to CNN, the network 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.\n\nThis move is part of an ongoing dispute between the Trump administration and certain news outlets, including CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, which Trump banned from the White House complex over coverage he asserted was false or negative. A judge had ordered the administration to restore access for these outlets, arguing that the ban was likely unconstitutional.\n\nDespite the judge's order, CNN reported that its journalists were still denied entry to the White House without being given a reason. The network, along with other major outlets such as ABC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC, shares the costs of covering the president and rotates coverage, providing pool footage to other outlets.",
