President Trump chided CNN's Kaitlan Collins upon arriving at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Tuesday, days after banning her network as well as MS NOW and Politico from the White House. "It's an honor to be here, I'm surprised that CNN is here covering me," he said. "You should not be here covering me. You said you weren't going to cover me. You shouldn't be covering me." The president announced the ban on Friday, pulling White House press credentials from the outlets over coverage he calls "fake news." The outlets filed a lawsuit in federal court on Monday, seeking to immediately block the ban and restore their credentials. And in a show of solidarity, the major TV networks suspended their pooled coverage of the president. #cspan #trump #unitednations #generalassembly #press
