AP – The United States network video pool for the White House was back in operation on Friday, for the first time since President Donald Trump banned three news outlets in a high-profile showdown over media access.
"As of now, all systems are go," said a person familiar with the pool, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the fluidity of the situation.
The pool consists of five major US broadcast outlets that take turns shooting and sharing video. When the White House banned CNN – which belongs to the pool – and two other outlets from White House grounds, the other four declined to participate in a show of solidarity.
