CNN, MS NOW, and Politico have joined together in filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that the White House unconstitutionally revoked their press credentials. This legal action follows the sudden removal of the outlets' press credentials after President Trump accused the news organizations of spreading "fake news."
The joint statement from the three organizations emphasized their commitment to protecting their First Amendment rights and defending the principle that the government does not dictate what journalists report or publish. The news outlets claim that without prior notice or process, their journalists' credentials were revoked due to objection to their reporting, threatening press freedom and independent journalism. They are seeking a federal review to challenge the government's interference in their reporting.
