CNN threatens new legal action, saying it’s still being denied access to Air Force One

CNN has threatened the Trump administration's Department of Justice with further legal action if the White House continues to block the network's journalists from accessing Air Force One and participating in the rotating travel pool. The dispute escalates an existing legal standoff between the network and the administration.

In a letter sent to the DOJ this week, CNN attorney Ted Boutrous characterized the administration's actions as retaliatory and discriminatory. The network argues that these restrictions prevent its journalists from properly performing their reporting duties during presidential travels.
