Three major news organizations have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, accusing it of violating press freedom by revoking their access to the White House. The move follows CNN’s removal from the White House press pool, a decision that has left a key diplomatic event—President Trump’s upcoming trip to New York—without full media coverage. Legal experts argue the restrictions constitute an unprecedented obstruction of press access, raising concerns over First Amendment protections. The lawsuit marks a sharp escalation in tensions between the administration and the media over coverage policies.
CNN, MS NOW and Politico are suing the Trump administration for stripping access to the White House, calling it a "direct assault on the First Amendment." Monday, CNN was removed from its duties for the rotating pool of TV journalists covering the White House. The TV pool announced there would be no replacement to cover Trump's trip to New York for the UN General Assembly. Liz Landers reports.
