CNN, MS NOW, Politico sue over denied White House access citing First Amendment rights
CNN, MS NOW, and Politico sue President Trump's administration over denied access to the White House, claiming it is an illegal selective ban that violates their First Amendment rights. The three news organizations were barred from covering the White House days before their lawsuit was filed.
CNN, MSNBC and Politico are suing the Biden administration over their denied access to the White House, citing a First Amendment violation as they were barred from covering events following an exclusive interview with former President Donald Trump in January. The plaintiffs claim the selective ban is 'legally suspect' and argue that the administration's actions amount to censorship. They are seeking an injunction to allow them to continue coverage of official business at the White House. The lawsuit argues that the denial of access is a First Amendment violation, citing the principles of freedom of the press.
