TV Networks Suspend White House Pool Coverage After Trump Press Ban
Following President Trump's ban of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, major television networks have suspended their rotating pool coverage of the president's activities. The three banned outlets have filed lawsuits challenging the ban as a First Amendment violation, while Trump defends the action citing what he calls unfavorable reporting.
NEWMajor TV networks (NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN) announced they will not provide pool coverage of Trump at the White House going forward, escalating the dispute beyond the initial three banned outlets.
