CNN, MS NOW, Politico Challenge Press Ban
The news organizations say the White House punished them for coverage it disliked, and a hearing is set for Wednesday.
- On Wednesday, Sept. 23, federal Judge Tim Kelly held the first hearing in the lawsuit CNN, MS NOW, and Politico filed against President Donald Trump to regain White House access.
- President Trump abruptly banned the three outlets from the White House last week, accusing them of "intentionally spreading lies" and defending the action by calling their coverage "fake news."
- The lawsuit argues the ban violates First Amendment rights to a free press and due process under the 14th Amendment, citing the 1977 Sherrill v. Knight precedent barring arbitrary press pass denials.
- Major news networks including ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox joined a boycott of presidential events, while The New York Times and The Washington Post suspended shared pool coverage in solidarity.
- Judge Kelly, who previously ruled against a similar ban in 2018, ordered the Justice Department to file a response by Tuesday, Sept. 22, as Trump vowed to appeal any adverse ruling.
