MS NOW, CNN and Politico say their journalists were denied access to White House after Trump ban
The outlets said the move violates the First Amendment, and reporters were turned away after badges were disabled or confiscated.
- On Saturday morning, MS NOW journalists were denied access to the White House grounds, a day after President Donald Trump announced a ban on the network, CNN, and Politico citing "fake news."
- The White House began enforcing the "ban" Trump declared "effective immediately" on Friday, though journalists from the affected outlets remained on the complex through that evening.
- MS NOW White House correspondent Akayla Gardner said an officer disabled her badge upon arrival, forcing her to report live from outside the perimeter after being denied entry.
- Protesting the exclusion, the network released a statement Saturday asserting the White House belongs to the American people and intending to defend its First Amendment rights.
- This latest action marks a significant escalation in Trump's long-running efforts to restrict news coverage by journalists he finds objectionable, serving as the latest test of First Amendment protections in the U.S.
