Trump says he's banning MS NOW, CNN and Politico from White House
- On Friday, September 18, 2026, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social he was banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, citing their 'constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS!' as justification for the immediate restriction.
- Trump later claimed the action stemmed from 'cumulative stories' rather than a specific incident, while baselessly accusing Politico of receiving an 'illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription' from the Biden administration to avoid going out of business.
- Despite the order, reporters from the targeted outlets remained working on White House grounds, as CNN vowed to 'vigorously defend our First Amendment rights' against what it termed an 'illegal assault' on press freedom.
- Federal judges previously blocked similar administration attempts to restrict press access, noting that excluding journalists from a 'public forum' based on viewpoint is likely unconstitutional, setting the stage for high-stakes litigation.
- Expanding the administration's adversarial approach, the 80-year-old Republican warned that other media organizations could face similar restrictions, citing previous actions against the Associated Press and lawsuits against outlets like The New York Times.
