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.
