Trump Bans CNN from White House Pool Coverage Duty
On September 21, President Donald Trump’s administration escalated its confrontation with the White House press corps by removing CNN from its scheduled assignment as the television pool representative for Monday. This decision disrupts the traditional rotation system where major US television networks provide pool coverage of the president.
CNN was initially set to cover Trump's trip to New York for the annual United Nations General Assembly. However, a White House press schedule released on Sunday night did not designate any television network as the primary TV pool for Monday.
Instead, Hearst was listed as the “secondary” television crew in Washington, while Real America’s Voice was assigned as the “secondary” crew for the New York trip. This development followed Trump’s announcement on his Truth Social platform, reiterating his ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House.
