CNN says it was left off Air Force One for Trump's Saturday trip to a college football game

CNN said it was excluded from a seat on Air Force One for President Donald Trump’s Saturday trip to a college football game in Tennessee, extending media restrictions tied to an ongoing dispute over First Amendment issues. CNN, part of the U.S. network video pool that rotates coverage duties, reported it had been scheduled to fly with the president for a midday matchup between the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and the University of Texas. Instead, White House guidance issued Friday night included Real America’s Voice, a conservative outlet not in the pool. The restriction followed a reprieve after Judge Timothy Kelly temporarily struck down Trump’s ban, though the order did not address pool duties or Air Force One directly. A pool report confirmed there was “no TV pool” for the travel.
