The White House has been excluding CNN from President Donald Trump’s trips on Air Force One, disrupting a decades-old tradition of pooled TV coverage.
Now an attorney for CNN is warning that the network will take additional legal action if the White House continues to prevent its news crews from covering the president.
“These efforts to retaliate and discriminate against CNN based on the content of its news coverage are mistaken, counterproductive, and unlawful,” Ted Boutrous, outside counsel for CNN, wrote in a letter to the Justice Department on Monday.
The demand letter stated that CNN “will be forced to pursue additional judicial relief” if the action continues.
