The lawsuit, filed by CNN, Politico, and MSNBC, challenges restrictions that could limit press access to critical government information.

The case highlights growing tensions over media freedom and government accountability in an increasingly polarized climate.
The US Justice Department's response to a lawsuit filed by CNN, Politico and MS NOW also cites national security.
