CNN reported on Saturday that it was prevented from boarding President Donald Trump’s plane, Air Force One, for a scheduled trip to a midday game. The network was serving as the designated member of the White House press pool, a rotation system where news organizations take turns capturing and sharing video footage of the president to ensure all outlets have access to official events.

According to CNN’s report, the network had been cleared to fly aboard the aircraft as part of its assigned duties. However, the report indicates that the White House did not allow the network to board the plane for the flight. The incident highlights a tension between the administration and the network, which frequently serves as a primary source of video documentation for the press corps. While the report confirms the denial of access, it does not provide an official explanation from the White House regarding the specific reasoning behind the decision to exclude the network from the flight.
