  "summary": "US television networks have resumed covering President Donald Trump’s White House events, providing live pool access for Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit, despite a legal battle over restrictions on CNN, MSNBC, and Politico. The White House TV press pool aired video of Xi’s arrival at the White House and their tour of the National Archives. In July, Trump banned the three outlets from the White House due to negative coverage, but a federal judge ordered their access reinstated. The networks share costs and rotate coverage, but CNN has been barred from traveling with Trump on a weekend trip to Tennessee. The legal battle over the ban continues, with the case expected to be decided by September 28.",
