What we can confirm

Reuters, AP, and the underlying federal lawsuit report that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico sued the Trump administration after being barred from White House grounds. Reuters and AP also report that the five-network television pool suspended coverage after CNN was prevented from performing its assigned duties, while the provided AFP report states that several White House photographer-pool members delayed publication of photographs in solidarity. The proposition is supported, with the minor qualification that the networks' action was described as suspending pooled coverage rather than a broad boycott of all Trump coverage.
