The White House has signaled that CNN will be left off Air Force One for President Donald Trump's upcoming trip on Saturday, according to NPR News.
The move marks the latest in a series of media restrictions imposed by the administration amid an ongoing dispute with several news outlets, one that has drawn scrutiny over its First Amendment implications.
Details on which outlet or outlets will take CNN's place in the press pool, and the administration's stated rationale for the exclusion, were not immediately available.
The decision adds to a broader pattern of friction between the Trump administration and parts of the press corps over access to the president during official travel.
