The White House signalled Friday night that CNN would be left off Air Force One for U.S. President Donald Trump's Saturday trip, the latest media restriction from the administration in an ongoing dispute with First Amendment implications.

CNN did not comment directly earlier Friday, referring instead to its editorial coverage.
