Donald Trump says reporting by CNN, MS NOW and Politico is "a threat to our National Security"

In September, the president announced that three outlets—CNN, MS NOW and Politico—would no longer be permitted to work inside the executive mansion, saying their reporting was false and a danger to national security. After their press passes were cancelled, reporters from the three organizations filed a suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, arguing that the action violates constitutional protections for the press and undermines the public’s ability to receive independent news. The administration responded on the president’s own social‑media platform, asserting that the move targets fabricated reporting rather than a free‑press assault. The White House Correspondents Association has asked the administration to reinstate the journalists’ access, and the litigation could lead to an emergency hearing next week.
