Presidential press pool paused as Trump bars CNN and others

The White House television press pool covering President Trump has been suspended after he banned CNN, MSNBC and Politico from White House access, removing the network pool from his current trip; major networks issued a joint statement defending press access, while CNN, MSNBC and Politico filed suit to restore access, and the Washington Post joined a solidarity stance with photographers. Pool coverage for other top government officials continues separately.
