  "summary": "The White House denied access to CNN, MS NOW, and Politico on Saturday, as President Donald Trump had announced the day before. The three news outlets denounced the ban as a violation of the US Constitution and vowed to keep reporting on the US government. They plan to take the bans to court.\n\nAccording to IOL and DW News, MS NOW's White House correspondent Akayla Gardner and CNN's Betsy Klein described being denied access at the security checkpoint. Gardner reported that her access badge did not work, while Klein had her press pass seized.\n\nThe outlets argue that the ban is an assault on their constitutional right to report without government interference. The White House referred to President Trump's previous comments announcing the bans.",
