Summarised from 12 outlets · 18 reports · Updated 27 Sept, 06:24 · Archive

A federal judge temporarily halted President Trump's ban on CNN, MS Now and Politico, but CNN was later barred from Air Force One.

President Trump banned CNN, MS Now and Politico from the White House, citing what he described as 'fake news'. A federal judge temporarily halted the ban on due process grounds, and the three outlets regained access. The White House television pool, which had ceased operating in solidarity, resumed coverage. However, CNN was subsequently barred from travelling aboard Air Force One for Trump's Saturday trip to Tennessee for a college football game, with another outlet replacing it in the press pool.
