The White House has blocked CNN from traveling aboard Air Force One, impeding the network's television press pool duties in the latest escalation of the administration's tensions with the news media, according to The Guardian.
CNN said it had been scheduled to fly with President Donald Trump to Tennessee for a college football game, the network said on Friday, according to the report.
Exclusion confirmed by omission
The White House confirmed CNN's exclusion when it did not list the network on guidance sent to the press corps regarding Trump's schedule for Saturday, The Guardian reported.
The report did not specify a stated reason from the White House for the exclusion or detail whether other outlets were similarly affected. It also did not include further comment from CNN or the White House press office beyond the scheduling confirmation.
