The White House denied journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico access to its grounds on Saturday, carrying out President Donald Trump’s announced ban against the three news organizations.
Each outlet said its journalists had their White House press passes confiscated when they arrived Saturday morning. CNN, MS NOW and Politico have indicated they could challenge the decision, arguing that the restrictions violate First Amendment protections for freedom of speech and the press.
CNN described the White House media ban as an “illegal assault” on its constitutional right to report without government interference. MS NOW and Politico separately pledged to defend their First Amendment rights, while all three organizations said they would continue covering the Trump administration.
The restrictions followed a Friday social media post in which Trump accused CNN, MS NOW and Politico of publishing “FAKE NEWS.” He also suggested additional news organizations could face similar action.
Speaking with reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, Trump cited the New York Times and Washington Post while discussing outlets he considers “fake news,” although he did not explicitly say they would also lose White House access.
The New York Times criticized the decision, describing the ban as retaliatory and unconstitutional and expressing support for the affected news organizations.
The latest dispute adds to a history of legal battles over White House press access. Last year, Trump barred the Associated Press from the regular presidential press pool after the news agency declined to use his preferred “Gulf of America” name for the Gulf of Mexico. The AP challenged that restriction.
During Trump’s first presidential term, his administration also attempted to revoke or suspend White House credentials belonging to CNN journalist Jim Acosta and Playboy correspondent Brian Karem. Federal judges subsequently ordered their press passes restored.
The new restrictions could again put the boundaries of presidential authority over White House media access and First Amendment protections before the courts.
