According to reports, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC suspended their shared television pool coverage of President Trump on Monday after the White House prevented CNN from serving its scheduled role. The networks said there would be no replacement crew.
The five networks normally rotate responsibility for filming presidential events and distributing the footage to news organizations worldwide. CNN was scheduled to cover Trump’s trip to New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
CNN, MS NOW and Politico also filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to restore their access to the White House after Trump announced a ban on the outlets.
