The new service began streaming on Monday, offering a nonstop feed of Trump’s speeches and administration updates, a clear attempt to control the narrative during a highly publicized dispute.
The launch comes amid a legal battle after the administration revoked press credentials for CNN, Politico and MS NOW, sparking a federal lawsuit that challenges the revocations.
Trump dismissed the suits, saying, "They said they were going to boycott me, but they never did. I’m not worried about that." He slammed the outlets as purveyors of "fake news."
White House spokesperson said the First Amendment protects the press’s right to publish, but does not guarantee access to the White House grounds or briefing room.
The revocations have disrupted the White House television pool, which supplies shared footage to participating news organisations, forcing some to scramble for alternative coverage.
Trump is currently in New York for the 81st UN General Assembly, where he will give his high‑level general debate and meet several world leaders; the lawsuit is slated for a federal court hearing next month.
