Trump bans CNN, MS NOW, Politico from White House
US President Donald Trump declared on Friday that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico would be "immediately" prohibited from the White House, characterising their reporting as "fiction or lies." The outlets remained on White House grounds following the announcement, describing the action as an "illegal assault" on press freedoms. Legal challenges are expected, with press freedom groups saying the ban is "flatly unconstitutional."
