Trump Administration Will Defend Its Ban of Three Prominent News Outlets in Court Hearing
The move comes as CNN, MS NOW and Politico sue, and Reuters says legal experts see major obstacles for the administration.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump revoked White House access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. The three outlets filed suit alleging violations of their First and Fifth Amendment rights.
- Accusing the outlets of publishing "false information," Trump claimed their reporting violated standards of professionalism and decorum expected at the White House complex.
- Former Vice President Kamala Harris criticized the decision while campaigning in Michigan, calling the move "absolutely abhorrent" and arguing it restricts the public's ability to learn about government activities.
- In solidarity with the banned outlets, the network press pool suspended coverage of Trump's events. The administration argued in court filings that presidents maintain discretion over press access.
- Trump said Tuesday he would "probably" restore access if a court rules against him, though legal experts note previous decisions have limited the government's ability to revoke press credentials.
