CNN reporter brutally denied access to Trump and Xi’s White House state dinner

US President Donald Trump has brutally denied CNN access to the high-stakes White House state dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping. According to CNN, two reporters from the left-leaning network were denied access to cover the event. CNN anchor Erin Burnett broke the news during the network’s coverage of the dinner, despite a judge reinstating the reporters’ access. The Trump administration was forced to reinstate the access of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico journalists following a judge’s ruling. CNN reports that journalists from MS NOW were similarly denied access to cover the event despite other networks being permitted.
