The White House barred CNN from covering President Donald Trump's trip to Tennessee on Air Force One, replacing them with conservative outlet Real America’s Voice News. This decision follows Trump’s ban last week on CNN and other outlets from the White House grounds due to alleged "fake news." A US judge has temporarily struck down the White House ban, citing a lack of evidence supporting claims that the banned media posed a national security threat. Other major networks refused to participate in press pool duties until full access was restored.

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.

US District Judge Timothy Kelly temporarily struck down the ban in an overnight ruling early on Thursday, saying the government’s argument lacked “factual support” for the claim that the outlets were barred to protect national security.
“Defendants offer no declarations or other support – classified or unclassified – explaining how any of the reporting they identified in their letters to Plaintiffs damaged the national security,” Kelly said in the ruling.
