CNN Says It Was Left Off Air Force One for Trump’s Saturday Trip to a College Football Game
CNN was replaced by Real America’s Voice after a judge restored its credentials, deepening the White House fight over Air Force One access.
- On Saturday, the White House blocked CNN from traveling aboard Air Force One with President Donald Trump to Knoxville, Tennessee, preventing the network from fulfilling its rotating television press pool duties.
- U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the White House to restore "hard passes" to grounds Thursday, yet his temporary order did not directly address media pool duties or Air Force One access.
- Trump previously barred CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO, accusing them of reporting "FAKE NEWS." In solidarity, the four other members of the five-network television pool—ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox News—declined to replace the banned network.
- White House guidance indicates Real America's Voice, a conservative network not currently part of the television pool, replaced CNN for the trip, bypassing the rotation system established by the White House Correspondents' Association.
- These restrictions reflect an ongoing dispute regarding press access and the First Amendment, marking the latest administrative action against media outlets the president has increasingly targeted throughout his second term.
