President Donald Trump bans CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, accusing them of spreading false reporting. Secret Service personnel enforce the order by deactivating and confiscating reporters’ credentials at West Wing gates. In response, major television networks suspend White House pool coverage, while the administration launches “Trump TV” to broadcast official events directly. The three banned outlets file a federal lawsuit, backed by the White House Correspondents’ Association, arguing that the ban amounts to viewpoint discrimination and violates press freedom and due process protections.
