Vance defends White House press ban, says outlets can still report
Vance called the move basic fairness and said the barred outlets still can report and attend public events as their lawsuits continue.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he is removing office access for CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House, labeling them 'Fake News' and citing an alleged $8 million government subscription as corrupt.
- Vice President Vance defended the decision on Monday, arguing it restricts 'special access' rather than reporting rights and claiming that about 92% of coverage from these outlets regarding the Trump Administration has been negative.
- Challenging the revoked credentials, CNN, MSNOW, and Politico filed a lawsuit, while Vance maintained that reporters from these outlets still retain the right to report and attend public events at the White House.
- Reporters questioned Vance on surging domestic energy prices, including diesel crossing the $6 per gallon mark, and he attributed the rise to disruptions in Middle Eastern shipping lanes where Iranian forces have targeted commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
- The president plans to meet directly with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy later this week at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, as Vance expressed continued optimism about resolving the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
