Trump Faces Likely Defeat in Court Battle Against Banned Media Outlets, Attorney Predicts
The White House is standing firm against a potential legal battle with three media outlets that President Donald Trump banned from the White House, despite an attorney's prediction of a likely loss for Trump. The attorney believes Trump will not come out on top in his fight to restrict access to certain news sources.
The White House has refused to back down as an attorney predicts that President Donald Trump's latest press tussle with three media outlets will likely result in him being held accountable for violating the First Amendment. The attorney at a nonprofit defending the First Amendment believes Trump's actions were 'clearly unlawful' and will likely lead to a court ruling against him. Three media outlets, including CNN, NBC, and The New York Times, were banned from the White House by Trump, sparking a lawsuit alleging that he overstepped his authority as president. The outcome of this case is expected to determine whether Trump can continue to restrict access to the White House for journalists.
