A sweeping media ban has been imposed by the White House, cutting off access to CNN, MSNBC’s news division, and Politico, effective immediately. The move follows escalating tensions between the administration and certain news outlets over coverage of recent policy decisions. Officials have not yet provided a rationale for the exclusion, though tensions have risen amid criticism of reporting on key issues. The decision marks a significant shift in press access, raising questions about its broader implications for transparency and media relations.
The US president on Friday announced he is "immediately" banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House.
