  "summary": "Three US news organisations, CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, have asked a federal court to block a White House order that bans them from its grounds. The ban was imposed by President Donald Trump, who cited dislike for their coverage. The news outlets argue that the ban is unlawful viewpoint discrimination under the First Amendment of the Constitution.\n\nThe outlets had previously been granted a 14-day temporary restraining order by US District Judge Timothy Kelly, which found that the bans likely violated their rights to fair legal treatment. However, despite this order, CNN reported being barred from traveling with Trump on Air Force One for a weekend trip to Tennessee. The news organisations are now seeking a preliminary injunction to preserve their White House access while they fight the ban.\n\nAccording to Investing.com, the judge's order preserving the outlets' White House access is set to expire on October 8. The Justice Department has argued that Trump lawfully banned the outlets after determining their coverage threatened national security by revealing classified information.",
