White House Blocks CNN from Air Force One

HeadlineSep 28, 2026

The White House on Friday night blocked CNN from Air Force One, preventing the network from covering President Trump on a Saturday trip to Tennessee. The four other major television networks — NBC, Fox News, CBS and ABC — agreed to resume their pool coverage of President Trump on Sunday, even though the White House continued to block CNN from participating in the pool. This comes after President Trump banned MS NOW, CNN and Politico from the White House earlier this month. Soon after, a Trump-appointed federal judge ordered the White House to reinstate the outlets for two weeks.
