AP News in Brief at 12:04 a.m. EDT
Three major news organizations—CNN, MS NOW and Politico—were denied entry to the White House on Saturday, following President Donald Trump's announcement the previous day that he was barring them. The actions came after Trump's war on Iran, which had led to volatile oil prices. The White House reporters from the three outlets all reported being turned away, with their press badges deactivated. All three news organizations hinted at legal action, stating they would defend their First Amendment rights.
