White House is sued again over media bans as press groups seek wider injunction
The suit seeks to restore access for barred outlets and block retaliation, arguing the restrictions deny the public independent reporting.
- On Monday, the Knight First Amendment Institute and a Yale Law School clinic filed a new lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan challenging President Donald Trump's administration media restrictions.
- CNN, Politico, and MS NOW previously won a preliminary injunction from District Judge Timothy Kelly restoring press access, though CNN remains barred from traveling aboard Air Force One.
- The lawsuit, filed on behalf of six people including professors and journalists, argues the policy "harms the public and our democracy," said David Schulz, who directs the Yale Law School clinic.
- A White House spokesperson defended the restrictions, citing "misinformation and defamation," while White House Correspondents' Association president Jacqui Heinrich called the removal of The Independent's Andrew Feinberg "retaliation."
- Trump suggested on Sunday via Truth Social that he is considering moving the press corps out of the White House complex entirely, escalating the ongoing conflict over media access.
