White House reverses its decision to ban health officials from speaking to CNN

Deadline

Vice President Mike Pence’s office, which heads the White House coronavirus task force, had banned the administration's health officials from appearing on CNN because the cable news network wouldn't air the White House's daily coronavirus briefings in full. As a result of the change, CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield will appear tonight in a CNN coronavirus town and Dr. Anthony Fauci will appear on CNN on Friday.
