  "account": "According to Politico, CNN, and MSNOW, the three news organizations have filed a federal lawsuit against President Donald Trump and three top White House advisers. They allege that the White House's ban on their journalists from the complex without notice or process violates their First and Fifth Amendments rights. The organizations contend that the ban is a direct assault on the First Amendment and threatens press freedom. The lawsuit requests an immediate ruling that the ban is unconstitutional and prevents the White House aides from enforcing it.",
