‘This threatens press freedom’: CNN, MS Now, and Politico sue Trump over White House ban

The three American news outlets banned from the White House have announced they are suing the Trump administration. The joint statement from CNN, MS Now, and Politico reads in part: “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. “Without notice or process, the White House revoked our journalists’ credentials because it objected to our reporting. “Left unchallenged, this threatens press freedom and the public’s right to independent journalism free from government interference.”
