WASHINGTON, United States (AFP)—CNN, MS NOW and Politico will sue the Trump administration after being denied access to the White House, the news outlets said in a joint statement on Monday.
President Donald Trump said Friday he was banning the outlets from the presidential mansion as punishment for distributing what he calls “fake news.”
“This morning, we notified the government that we are filing a lawsuit today to protect our First Amendment rights and defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes,” CNN, MS NOW and Politico said in a joint statement.
