President Donald Trump has announced an immediate ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds, saying they publish "fake news." The outlets and press groups have condemned the move as unconstitutional; CNN, MS NOW and Politico have said they will sue and ask a federal judge to restore their press credentials.
Several outlets have filed to block enforcement of a ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico, arguing it violates First and Fifth Amendment rights. A district court has ordered temporary restoration of access for 14 days while the case proceeds.
