DOJ Defends Trump White House Ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico

The administration says the outlets published sensitive information and failed to meet basic standards of professionalism and decorum, citing 3 reporting incidents.

  • On Monday, CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO filed lawsuits against President Donald Trump following his administration's media ban, challenging the exclusion of outlets from the White House.
  • Legal analyst Jeb Rubenfeld stated the media companies will likely win because the District Court must follow appeals court precedents establishing such bans violate the First Amendment.
  • The Bulwark's Bill Kristol and Sarah Longwell described a 'Republican Triangle of Doom' where Trump lies, Fox amplifies claims, and GOP politicians echo them to sustain his power.
  • Trump's approval ratings spiraled below 30% for the first time, while internal critic Laura Loomer called his messaging strategy 'total bullsh*t.'
  • Monday concluded with the launch of the president's new media platform as commentator Matt Vespa noted Trump and CNN are 'now in a state of war' following the White House exclusion.
