Trump Blocks Politico From Air Force One After Requesting Judge Reinstate Media Ban

The legal and political conflict between President Donald Trump's administration and the White House press corps intensified on Monday. Trump blocked Politico from accessing Air Force One, expanding his press pool purge. This action follows a request for a judge to reinstate a media ban. A hearing regarding this specific case is scheduled for Thursday, as the standoff between the administration and the media continues to escalate amid these new restrictions on journalistic access to presidential transport.
