Trump opens new White House helipad as TV networks skip coverage
–
Neutral summary
President Donald Trump on Monday opened a new granite helipad on the South Lawn of the White House, cutting a red, white and blue ribbon with oversized gold scissors while surrounded by workers in green construction smocks and hard hats. It was his first appearance without the White House TV pool: major U.S. networks — CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox — suspended joint coverage of the president after his administration barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds. Trump's remarks were largely inaudible in live footage because no sound was available, drawing mockery online. In response, the White House launched its own YouTube channel, dubbed “Trump TV.” CNN, MS NOW and Politico filed a lawsuit calling the ban a “blatant violation” of the First Amendment; a court hearing is set for Wednesday. On Tuesday, journalists from the three outlets covered Trump's U.N. speech using credentials issued by the United Nations. According to Valor Economico, Trump told them, “I'm surprised CNN is here covering me, you shouldn't be here.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the ban, while the White House accused the outlets of publishing “fiction and lies.”
