CNN, MS NOW, Politico denied access to White House grounds

President Trump denied CNN, MS NOW, and Politico access to the White House, citing their reporting of "fake news" as punishment.
The banned news outlets and the White House Correspondent's Association denounced the action as an illegal violation of the US Constitution's First Amendment, which protects press freedom.
Reporters from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico confirmed their access badges were confiscated or deactivated, preventing their entry to the White House grounds.
This move escalates Trump's ongoing battle with mainstream media, though outright barring access is a rare step for a US president, with previous attempts often overturned by courts.
