The White House has restricted CNN’s access to cover President Donald Trump's trip to Tennessee by banning their reporters from flying on Air Force One, according to The Washington Post. Despite a court order earlier that week restoring CNN’s press credentials following an initial ban by the administration last Friday, CNN faced continued restrictions when attempting to cover Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state dinner at the White House and was only allowed limited coverage of subsequent events. While access was later reinstated for general White House coverage, this latest incident highlights ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and the media outlet over press freedoms during his presidency.

Story summary
On September 25, 2026, the White House barred CNN from flying with President Donald Trump on Air Force One for his trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, on September 26, where he was scheduled to attend a college football game. This decision followed a previous ban by Trump against CNN and other outlets like MS NOW and Politico from covering his daily activities at the White House. Despite a judge’s order restoring access to the White House grounds for these networks, the ruling did not address Air Force One pool duties. The spot meant for CNN was instead given to Real America's Voice News, a conservative network. This move escalates an ongoing dispute over media freedoms and highlights concerns about First Amendment implications.
