U.S. Justice Department Investigates TV Networks Over White House Press Pool Boycott

The U.S. Justice Department has launched an investigation into whether major television networks violated federal antitrust laws by boycotting White House press pool coverage. This action follows the White House's decision to revoke the credentials of reporters from three news organizations, including CNN, leading to the networks' collective withdrawal from shared pool duties. The controversy has also sparked a lawsuit against the administration, citing a breach of First Amendment protections for press freedom.
