Blanche says president has right to restrict access to White House and Air Force One
Blanche said inaccurate coverage can threaten U.S. interests abroad as CNN, Politico and MS NOW fight the ban in court.
- On Sunday, Attorney General Todd Blanche defended President Donald Trump's right to restrict media access to the White House and Air Force One, a day after CNN was barred from traveling to Tennessee.
- Judge Timothy Kelly recently ordered the Justice Department to restore press credentials, ruling the ban lacked "constitutionally adequate due process," while the department argues "one-sided" news reporting constitutes a national security issue.
- While Kelly's order temporarily restored "hard passes" to the White House grounds, it did not directly address pool duties on Air Force One, leaving travel access unresolved.
- Blanche denied CNN was banned, calling it a "privilege" for reporters to cover the White House, as the Justice Department asserts that persistent "misinformation" justifies limiting specific media organizations.
- The White House Correspondents Association created the press pool to ensure consistent coverage, yet tensions remain as Trump frequently criticizes CNN, Politico, and MSNOW for "false and defamatory" reporting and "media bias across the board.
