When the president has an open event, the designated TV pool network distributes it live to media outlets worldwide. But on Monday, those cameras were dark. That's because the White House TV pool banded together and refused to cover President Donald Trump's events after he banned CNN, Politico and MS NOW for their coverage. The three news organizations sued the Trump administration in response. PBS News White House correspondent Liz Landers explains what happened.
