  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has announced that he is banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. According to Trump, the outlets \"constantly write or report fiction or lies\" about his administration. He made the announcement on his Truth Social platform, stating that the ban is effective immediately.\n\nThe move drew immediate accusations that it was unconstitutional and would be thrown out by the courts. The impacted news outlets said they would not be cowed, with CNN calling the move an \"illegal assault\" on American press freedoms. According to MyJoyOnline Ghana, reporters from both Politico and CNN were still on the White House grounds shortly after the announcement was made.\n\nCNN released a statement saying it \"stands fully behind our White House team and their fair and accurate reporting\" and that it has a right under the US Constitution to do that reporting without hindrance or interference from the government. Politico also released a statement, saying it \"will continue\" to report on the White House.",
