White House Press Pool

The Trump administration is pressing television networks to remove CNN from the pool of outlets covering official briefings, and the White House has found a workaround when networks refuse to go along. The dispute has drawn attention from press-freedom observers, including commentary from Poynter, raising concerns about retaliation against a news organization and its implications for press access at the White House.

A MAGA Inc event took place at Mar-a-Lago, according to a White House press pool travel report. The super political action committee aligned with Donald Trump drew press coverage as reporters filed dispatches from the Florida estate. Details of the event's purpose and attendees were not included in the pool report.

The White House press pool has filed its eleventh travel pool report, covering the arrival at Joint Base Andrews. Travel pool reports are routine dispatches documenting the president's movements for the press corps, and this one marks the latest update in a day of travel coverage.
