US justice department investigates TV networks over Trump pool coverage

The United States Department of Justice has launched an investigation into several television networks concerning their pool coverage of President Donald Trump. The inquiry follows an incident in which the White House blocked access for specific media organizations, namely CNN, MS Now, and Politico.

In response to the White House's restrictions on the designated outlets, the networks collectively chose to limit their pool coverage arrangements. The federal investigation centers on these subsequent actions regarding shared newsgathering operations.
