White House bars CNN from Air Force One for Trump’s upcoming trip

The White House has barred CNN from flying on Air Force One to cover President Donald Trump’s upcoming trip, replacing them with conservative outlet Real America’s Voice News for the event in Knoxville, Tennessee. This restriction is part of broader media bans by the Trump administration, which also excluded CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House access, prompting lawsuits from the outlets. A federal judge temporarily blocked the ban, stating the government lacked sufficient evidence to justify it on national security grounds.
