Donald Trump says White House press workspace ban is due to "constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!"

The Trump administration barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House workspaces, prompting the three outlets to sue on Monday. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the move on TODAY, saying the president was not shutting the organizations down or detaining journalists; they could still report on the White House but could not keep desks there, he said. The outlets allege the ban violates due process and First Amendment protections and retaliates against their newsgathering. Major networks, including NBC News, have declined to supply television pool video of Trump at least through Monday. Trump announced the restriction last week and tied it to the outlets’ coverage, which he criticized. The lawsuit centers on press access and constitutional claims.
