CNN Dropped From Trump Press Pool Despite Court Order Restoring Access
The move follows a judge's ruling that barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House access was likely unconstitutional.

CNN has been removed from the press pool accompanying US President Donald Trump on a trip to Tennessee on Saturday, according to France 24.
The removal comes a week after CNN, along with MS NOW and Politico, was barred from White House access by the Trump administration. A judge later ordered that access be temporarily restored, ruling that the administration's move was likely unconstitutional.
Renewed tension
The exclusion of CNN from the Tennessee trip suggests continued friction between the Trump administration and the network, even after the court's intervention on White House access more broadly.
Neither the White House nor CNN has publicly detailed the specific reasoning behind the network's removal from this particular press pool assignment.
The episode adds to a series of disputes between the Trump administration and news organizations over access to the president and White House events.
