Trump launches 24/7 "Trump TV" YouTube channel after US networks suspend pooled coverage

The White House launched a 24/7 YouTube live stream after major US networks halted joint coverage of President Trump over his ban on three outlets.

• Major US networks suspended their pooled coverage of Trump on Monday after the White House barred CNN, Politico, and MSNBC from covering the president.
• The three banned outlets said they would file a lawsuit against the administration to defend press independence.
• California Governor Gavin Newsom called the channel "literally state-run TV" and "truly autocratic behavior."
• The channel has over 3 million subscribers, while live viewer counts stood near 1,500 at launch.
• The channel's first broadcast featured a Trump speech from Mount Rushmore dated July 3.
• Its YouTube description says it will showcase 'the biggest moments of the Trump administration in one place.'
• Marco Rubio defended the White House ban, saying it restricts outlets' access to the presidential complex, not their work.
• New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani opposed the ban, insisting all press be allowed at White House events.
• A federal judge will consider a temporary restraining order request from the three banned outlets.
• Trump scolded CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins at the United Nations General Assembly, telling her she should not be there.
