CNN and Politico Sue Trump Administration Over White House Access Ban

News organizations CNN, Politico, and MS NOW have filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washington against the Trump administration, alleging a violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The legal action follows President Donald Trump's decision to bar their reporters from covering the White House.

According to reports by CBS News and The Hill, the outlets argue in their petition that revoking their access harms their ability to deliver public reporting on the administration. In response to the legal battle, President Trump slammed the three outlets, accusing them of unfair and negative coverage.
