CNN, MS NOW and Politico file lawsuit against Trump administration over White House access
The outlets say the ban is retaliatory and seek a temporary restraining order to restore hard-pass credentials and White House access.
- On Monday, CNN, MS NOW, and Politico filed a lawsuit to reverse President Donald Trump's total ban on their reporters from the White House, asserting the move violates their First Amendment rights.
- Trump announced the ban on Friday via Truth Social, citing what he termed "cumulative stories" by the outlets and warning, "Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow."
- The lawsuit argues the ban constitutes viewpoint discrimination, citing 1977 precedent when the Secret Service revoked reporter Robert Sherrill's press pass for similar government retaliation against coverage.
- Reporters from the banned organizations were prevented from entering the White House on Saturday, and the administration removed CNN from its scheduled rotation as the pool network.
- The emergency request moves to the DC District Court this week, where Judge Trevor McFadden previously held that the government cannot shut doors to journalists based on viewpoints.

Trump has banned more media and started his own TV channel. In the process, he risks further eroding American democracy
Amid the tumult over US President Donald Trump’s latest assault on press freedom, it’s easy to lose sight of what exactly journalism is and why, when done well, it carries real weight.
