  "account": "Three major news organizations, POLITICO, CNN, and MSNOW, are filing a federal lawsuit against President Donald Trump and his top aides in an effort to restore access to the White House for their journalists. The organizations claim that the abrupt ban on their reporters is a \"direct assault on the First Amendment.\" According to the news outlets, the White House revoked their credentials without notice or due process, preventing them from entering the White House complex on Saturday. The lawsuit argues that the ban violates the journalists' Fifth Amendment due process and property rights, as well as their First Amendment rights. The organizations are asking a judge to rule Trump's ban unconstitutional and prevent his aides from enforcing it.",
