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

US President Donald Trump has announced that news outlets CNN, MS NOW, and Politico will be banned from the White House. Trump accused these media outlets of reporting "fiction and lies" about his administration and said that other "Fake News Media Outlets" would face similar consequences. The move drew immediate accusations that it was unconstitutional and would be struck down by courts.

Trump stated that media outlets should not be able to "constantly write or report FICTION and LIES" when covering the President of the United States. Politico vowed to defend its First Amendment rights, while CNN called the ban an "illegal assault on US press freedom" and said its reporting was "fair and accurate" and protected under the US Constitution.
