Trump clashes with CNN at the United Nations amid White House media ban

President Donald Trump confronted CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins at the United Nations in New York on Tuesday, telling her she should not be covering him as his administration’s dispute with the network escalated. The exchange came as CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are challenging Trump’s decision to bar them from White House access. The outlets filed a federal lawsuit in Washington on Monday, arguing the ban violates the First Amendment and due process rights. A hearing on their request for an injunction is scheduled for Wednesday. Trump said the ban was based on what he called false reporting, while Collins said CNN would continue covering the president despite the White House restrictions. The dispute has also affected pool coverage arrangements for Trump’s trip to New York and the United Nations.
