US Probes TV Networks Over Trump Coverage Halt

The US Justice Department is investigating whether five television networks broke antitrust law when the White House press pool halted coverage of President Trump last month. The boycott followed the White House barring CNN, Politico and MS Now reporters from the building. An agency spokesperson said group boycotts among competitors may violate US law. ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC were all contacted for comment.
