GoKawiilMS NOW, CNN and Politico sue Trump over White House access ban
MS NOW, CNN and Politico are suing President Trump after he barred their journalists from White House grounds over the weekend, citing dissatisfaction with their coverage of his administration. The outlets argue the ban violates the First Amendment, and their lawsuit is being filed in the same court handling a similar case brought by The Associated Press.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move extends a pattern of the administration restricting press access based on editorial content, following its earlier clash with the AP over language choices. A court ruling here could set precedent for how much control a president can exert over which journalists cover the White House.
- Three major outlets are suing after being denied White House access
- Trump cited coverage complaints as the reason for the ban
- The case joins existing AP litigation over similar press-access disputes
