Three major news outlets — CNN, MS NOW, and Politico — are suing the Trump administration after being banned from the White House, claiming the move is an unconstitutional attack on press freedom meant to punish them for negative coverage. The outlets argue the ban threatens independent journalism and the public's right to know, while Trump calls it a strike against 'fake news' harming national security. The case could set a precedent for how much power a president has to restrict media access.
