The White House has blocked CNN and MS NOW from covering Chinese President Xi Jinping’s arrival at the White House for a state dinner with Donald Trump, according to the networks.

CNN and MS NOW both said their reporters were denied access to the White House to cover Xi’s arrival Thursday night, despite a federal judge temporarily reversing Trump’s ban on the outlets covering such events.

A reporter and producer with CNN were stopped by a press wrangler when they tried to enter the greeting ceremony between Trump and first lady Melania and Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, the network reported.

The White House reportedly told CNN shortly before the event that they could cover Xi’s arrival but only with a photojournalist and audio technician, despite other networks being allowed to bring reporters and producers.

MS NOW White House reporter Laura Barrón-López said she was also stopped by a press wrangler when trying to cover Xi’s arrival.

“I was told, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t let you in,’” Barrón-López told MS NOW host Symone Sanders Townsend, recalling the incident.

“The big question is — is this going to continue? Are we not going to be credentialed into these daily events?” Barrón-López asked.
