Trump says he's banning MS NOW, CNN, and Politico from the White House
Trump said the ban was "effective immediately."
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he is placing bans on MS NOW, CNN, and Politico from entering the White House. The ban is immediate, though no additional specifics were provided. This action comes after Trump has been increasingly hostile towards the press, particularly regarding their coverage of his administration.
Trump stated that the ban is effective immediately and intends to include additional media outlets in the future. CNN responded to the ban by stating that their journalists are still in their designated workspace near the briefing room, asserting their right to report under the U.S. Constitution. Trump claimed he banned these outlets due to their persistent negative reporting aimed at diminishing his Republican party.
This ban follows earlier restrictions imposed on other media outlets, including the Associated Press, NBC News, and The New York Times.
