The White House has again excluded CNN from the rotating press pool covering President Donald Trump, removing the outlet from the group of journalists traveling with him to Texas and Oklahoma, according to the White House's own schedule as reported by The Guardian.
The move comes despite a temporary block issued by a Trump-appointed federal judge on the administration's broader ban of CNN, Politico and MS Now from White House access, which remains in effect until October 8.
CNN had been scheduled to be part of the pool of media outlets accompanying the president on the trip before being removed from the final list of newsrooms included, the report said.
The exclusion is the latest episode in an extended standoff between the Trump administration and several news organizations over access to cover the president, a dispute that has already drawn judicial intervention.
It remains to be seen how the courts will ultimately rule on the underlying ban once the temporary order expires, and whether CNN's access to the regular press pool will be restored before then.
