Banned White House outlets cover Trump at UN as court hearing looms
The White House said the stream will run videos and highlights of Trump administration achievements after major networks lost pool access.
- On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, President Donald Trump attended the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York City and told reporters that CNN should not be covering him, reinforcing his recent White House press pool ban.
- Trump announced the ban on Friday, September 18, claiming outlets "shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES," then defended the decision again on Monday, September 21.
- The affected news organizations sued Trump and his administration on Monday, September 21, arguing the ban violates First Amendment protections, while other major television networks suspended White House pool coverage.
- To fill the resulting coverage gap, the White House launched a "Trump TV" stream on September 21 that will broadcast videos and highlights of the administration's achievements.
- US District Judge Timothy Kelly will preside over a hearing in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, September 23, to consider a temporary restraining order sought by media outlets to block the access restrictions.
