CNN and MS NOW barred from White House after ban by Trump
CNN called the move "an illegal assault" on the constitutional rights of news organizations to report without hindrance.
President Donald Trump barred CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from accessing the White House grounds on Saturday, the outlets reported. The news organizations dismissed the decision as an "illegal assault" on their constitutional rights to report freely without government interference. CNN vowed to continue providing intensive coverage of the Trump administration despite the ban.
An MS NOW reporter informed the network that she and a photographer were denied entry to the premises, with their badges being confiscated at the gate. However, a producer for the network was permitted to enter.
