Trump Bars CNN from Boarding Air Force One
The White House has denied CNN access to board Air Force One for President Donald Trump’s trip to Tennessee, marking the third time the network has been excluded. This decision follows previous incidents where CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were barred from the White House due to Trump’s accusations of spreading fake news, a measure later halted by a court ruling. Concurrently, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked Missouri from implementing a Republican-drawn congressional map, dealing a blow to Trump’s party ahead of midterm elections. Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV subtly criticized the exclusion of journalists during his flight to Paris, emphasizing the importance of a free press without explicitly naming Trump.
