White House bars CNN from travelling with Trump on Air Force One

The White House has barred CNN from accompanying President Donald Trump on Air Force One for his scheduled trip to Tennessee this Saturday. The exclusion prevents the network from traveling with the president as part of the press pool.

This action follows reports that the president previously sought to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. These efforts were reportedly motivated by the president's stated view that these outlets provide exclusively negative coverage of his administration.
