Trump bans CNN, MS NOW, Politico from White House

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he would be banning news outlets CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. He accused these media organizations of reporting "fiction and lies" without providing specific details. Trump expressed pride in his announcement, which came into effect immediately. He claimed that CNN, MS NOW (formerly MSNBC due to declining viewership and credibility), and Politico had received an illegal and excessive $8 million dollar subscription from the United States government under then-President Joe Biden.

Trump labeled this a form of corruption. The President's statement was made via his Truth Social network. He further stated that "Media Outlets shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they're covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America." Trump also hinted that other "Fake News Media Outlets" would follow suit, urging the audience to pay attention to his actions.
