US President Donald Trump confronted CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins at the United Nations on September 22, telling her that CNN “should not be here” covering him. Trump appeared to suggest CNN had previously said it would not cover him, but Collins later said the network had made no such statement. The confrontation came after the White House barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico from its grounds and removed CNN from presidential pool coverage. The three outlets have sued the administration, arguing the restrictions violate First Amendment protections. A federal court hearing on their request for temporary relief was scheduled for Wednesday.
