The White House has signalled that CNN will be barred from an upcoming Air Force One trip, replacing the news organisation with a conservative network.

The White House has signalled that CNN would be left off Air Force One for Donald Trump's upcoming trip, in the latest media restriction from the administration.

The news organisation was replaced by Real America's Voice, a conservative network, for the US president's trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, according to White House guidance.

Mr Trump is scheduled to attend a college football game between the University of Tennessee and the University of Texas at midday Saturday, local time.

The news came just after journalists from CNN, along with MS NOW and Politico returned to the executive complex with TV cameras in hand after a judge handed the organisations a reprieve.

US District Judge Timothy Kelly temporarily struck down the ban in an overnight ruling early Thursday.

The judge's decision addressed "hard passes" to the White House grounds but did not directly address pool duties nor Air Force One.

Earlier Friday, on "The Lead with Jake Tapper," Mr Boutrous had said the plaintiffs believed the recent court ruling also covered the issue of pool access.

For a while during the day, the US network video pool for the White House was back in operation for the first time since Mr Trump banned the three news outlets in a meeting over media access.

When the White House banned CNN from White House grounds, along with MS NOW and Politico, the other four pool providers declined to participate in a show of solidarity.
