Trump defended the ban, calling the outlets 'fake news' and a 'threat to national security.'
The three outlets filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to restore their White House access.
Major TV networks – ABC, CBS, Fox News, NBC – refused to replace CNN’s White House pool crew and collectively suspended pooled coverage of President Trump.
The White House declared media access 'a privilege – not a right' and encouraged Americans to use the administration’s app for news.
President Trump banned CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from White House access hours after he was shown negative coverage. He justified the move as targeting 'fake news' threatening national security. The three outlets immediately sued. In a rare show of solidarity, all major TV networks – including Fox News – refused to replace CNN in the White House pool and suspended pooled coverage of the president. The White House defended its move, calling media access a privilege, and directed Americans to its own app. Trump responded on social media, predicting a lawsuit, noting the assigned judge is his appointee who previously ruled for Jim Acosta, and vowing to appeal.
