The US Department of Justice is examining whether ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News breached antitrust law by jointly and briefly suspending their White House pool coverage of Donald Trump, according to a New York Times report citing sources. The probe focuses on whether coordinated action by rival networks over pool arrangements amounted to illegal collusion, raising fresh questions about press access to the presidency.
