Melania Trump's office grants CNN reporter access to her New York City event despite President Trump's ban

Days after President Donald Trump banned CNN, Politico, and MSNBC from the White House, First Lady Melania Trump's office approved a credential request from CNN reporter Betsy Klein to cover her event in New York City on Tuesday. The event, "Fostering the Future Together," took place on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. CNN's Brian Stelter revealed the approval, and the first lady's office confirmed it. The ban, announced Friday, led to a lawsuit by the three outlets, with a judge ordering a response by Tuesday. The White House television pool also suspended coverage of Trump.
