CNN, MS NOW and Politico sue over Trump’s White House press ban

CNN, MS Now and Politico have filed a lawsuit seeking to allow their journalists to enter the White House grounds days after U.S. President Donald Trump revoked their access, turning to the courts in their fight over constitutional protections for the press. The news outlets claim the ban is a “direct assault” on the First Amendment and “a blatant violation of our most fundamental constitutional principles,” according to the complaint filed Monday in federal court in Washington.
