Trump accuses CNN and MSNOW of skipping Xi's White House arrival after reporters blocked

President Trump accused CNN and MSNOW of refusing to cover Chinese President Xi Jinping's arrival at the White House, after the networks reported their journalists were denied access to the event. CNN said a reporter and producer were blocked by a press official and told to speak with Communications Director Steven Cheung, despite submitting credentials a day earlier. MSNOW reporter Laura Barrón-López was also barred entry after receiving no response to her accreditation request. The incident follows a court order requiring the White House to restore press credentials for CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, which had been revoked. The White House allowed access hours earlier before denying the two networks entry for Xi's reception.
