CNN, MSNBC and Politico had previously lost access to the White House due to a Trump-imposed stay-at-home order that was lifted by a federal court with a 14-day injunction.
The US television channel CNN has been excluded from President Donald Trump's planned trip to Tennessee on Saturday. CNN would have been scheduled to be the television station in the accompanying press pool, but it no longer appeared in the White House itinerary published on Friday evening. Instead, the television station named was Lindell TV, which is run by entrepreneur Mike Lindell, who is close to Trump.
The press pool is a rotating group of journalists who accompany the president due to limited space and provide material to other media outlets. CNN initially declined to comment when contacted by the AFP news agency. The White House also did not initially respond to a request.
It was only on Thursday that CNN, MSNBC and Politico were given access to the White House again after being banned for several days. A federal court had lifted the house ban imposed by Trump with an interim injunction for an initial period of 14 days and ordered the journalists to be readmitted. Federal Judge Timothy Kelly had said that the revocation of their accreditations allegedly violated constitutional rights.
