President Donald Trump revoked White House media access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. Concurrently, the White House deactivated CNN's press passes. In response to the access revocation, other major U.S. networks, including Fox News, pulled out of the TV pool coverage in solidarity. Reports indicate that Fox News was pooling resources with ABC, CBS, and NBC for presidential coverage.
