DOJ investigating whether White House TV pool's coverage halt violated antitrust law
The U.S. Department of Justice said on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, that its Antitrust Division is investigating whether the White House television press pool's decision last month to halt coverage of President Donald Trump violated antitrust law. The pool of five broadcasters (ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX and NBC) ceased presidential coverage after the administration barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. DOJ spokesperson Emily Covington said group boycotts among business competitors might violate U.S. law and that the division is investigating to determine whether these news organizations violated the antitrust laws; no determination has been made. CNN, MS NOW and Politico had sued over the days-long ban and a judge ordered their access restored. The Committee to Protect Journalists criticized the investigation, saying the government should not use antitrust probes to intimidate news outlets.
