White House Media Row: CNN, MSNOW, Politico Sue Trump Over Access Restrictions

CNN, MSNOW and Politico have filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s decision to revoke their access to the White House. The media organisations allege that the move violates their First Amendment rights and threatens press freedom. The dispute follows President Donald Trump’s accusations that the outlets publish “fake news” and reports he described as false. Trump has defended the decision, saying the White House is targeting what he calls fake news rather than the free press. The latest legal battle adds to a broader dispute between Trump and several major US media organisations over presidential coverage, press access and the limits of executive control.
