Trump says he's banning CNN, Politico and MS NOW from the White House
President Trump said Friday that he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, the latest move to target media outlets over their reporting.
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he is banning CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House, citing their "constant reporting of FAKE NEWS" about his administration and the United States. The president posted the announcement on social media, stating he would take similar action against other outlets if they continue to publish "FICTION and LIES."
During a healthcare event in the Oval Office, Trump justified the ban by saying he gets "tired of reading and seeing fake news," adding that he feels no need to take this action now. He dismissed concerns that this move is an attempt to intimidate the press, insisting that he dislikes dishonest journalists and considers them "terrible."
The administration is likely to face legal challenges over the ban, with the First Amendment prohibiting the president from punishing journalists for their reporting.
