CNN was banned from its pool duty, leading the pool to cancel coverage of Trump's events. The pool represents a wider fight over control of news content, a key part of American democracy. Trump's actions mark an escalation in efforts to restrict reporters he finds unsupportive. The press pool, a rotating group of outlets, provides essential coverage of the president's activities.
