Business Insider reports that VP Mike Pence is blocking the US's top public-health officials from appearing on CNN.
CNN has revealed that Pence is trying to pressure CNN to air the White House coronavirus briefings in their entirety.
CNN is one of several networks that often cut away from the briefings to fact-check the President Donald Trump's statements.
The 24-hour news networks do not always air the full events, which can last a few hours.
