First Lady Melania Trump’s office has granted a CNN reporter, Betsy Klein, permission to attend and report on an upcoming event she will host in New York City. This decision contrasts with President Donald Trump's ban on CNN from the White House. The move highlights reporters finding alternative ways to cover significant events despite restricted access at the White House.

Story summary
On September 25, US TV networks resumed coverage of President Donald Trump’s events at the White House after a judge ordered the administration to lift its ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. The ban was imposed last week due to what Trump described as unfavorable press coverage. Despite the reinstatement, tensions remain high; the networks ceased filming White House events in solidarity with banned outlets earlier in the week, resulting in no pool footage during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit on September 24-25. The court battle continues, and CNN was barred from traveling with Trump to Tennessee for a weekend trip, though reasons were not officially provided by the administration.
