Trump says CNN, MS NOW, Politico banned from White House

Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social network that he was banning the 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 stated that this ban would be effective immediately and that other "Fake News Media Outlets" would follow suit, though he did not name them.

The president expressed his pride in this decision, emphasizing that these outlets were reporting "FAKE NEWS" during their coverage of the President of the United States and his administration. Trump did not disclose the reason behind this ban, but he emphasized that media outlets should not be allowed to "constantly write or report FICTION and LIES" while covering the president.

This move marked a rare instance of a US president barring news outlets from the White House altogether. However, Trump's administration has previously implemented stricter controls on reporters, such as controlling which journalists could cover events in restricted areas, like the Oval Office and Air Force One.
