Story summary

On Monday, the White House barred Politico from traveling with President Donald Trump on Air Force One as he visits Nebraska for a campaign rally. This decision follows a legal dispute between the Trump administration and several news organizations. A White House official stated that while many outlets are allowed to cover presidential events independently, traveling aboard Air Force One is considered a privilege rather than a right. Earlier this month, the White House restricted access to Politico, CNN, and MS NOW from entering its grounds due to what President Trump termed as "constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!" However, a federal judge ordered temporary reinstatement of their access but limited it to White House premises only. Last week, the administration also excluded CNN from covering Trump's trip to Texas and Oklahoma.
