CNN reporter challenges Trump over UN credentials after White House media ban
President Donald Trump confronted CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, a day after major TV networks sued his administration over a White House media ban. Collins replied that the United Nations had credentialed her, not the White House. CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were barred from White House grounds and removed from the television pool covering presidential events. The outlets sued Monday, citing First Amendment violations, with a court hearing scheduled for Wednesday. ABC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC declined to replace CNN in the pool. Trump defended the ban as targeting "FAKE NEWS," not the free press, and suggested a judge ruling against him would be unfair. The White House also launched "Trump TV" streaming, and a helipad ceremony speech was largely inaudible due to helicopter noise.
