White House TV Pool Resumes After Judge Orders CNN Access Restored

The White House television news pool resumed coverage Friday after ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC had suspended their rotating assignments in solidarity with CNN, which the Trump administration had barred from the pool. The restart followed a federal judge’s temporary order restoring CNN, MS NOW and Politico’s access to the White House, though the order did not specifically settle CNN’s pool role and some journalists still encountered access problems. CNN was credentialed to cover President Donald Trump’s visit with Chinese President Xi Jinping to the National Archives, while CBS also had a pool assignment.
