President Donald Trump shows displeasure as CNN and MSNBC return to White House press corps during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit

During Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to the United States, President Donald Trump appeared annoyed when CNN and MSNBC reporters returned to the White House press corps after a federal judge overturned a temporary ban. The ban had been imposed days earlier over alleged "fake news" reporting. Trump later sarcastically thanked the press for "fair coverage." The White House had restricted pool coverage during much of the visit, and reporters were blocked from covering Xi's arrival at the state dinner. Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the administration's actions, saying inaccurate reporting is a national security issue.
