President Donald Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House on Friday, and on Saturday journalists from all three outlets were denied access to the grounds.

CNN White House reporter Betsy Klein was turned away at the security checkpoint and had her press pass deactivated, she said in a live report on CNN. A Secret Service officer told her the pass was deactivated but provided no reason, advising her to contact the White House press office. MS NOW correspondent Akayla Gardner and a cameraman were also blocked and had their credentials confiscated, Gardner reported live from outside the White House. Politico global editor Jonathan Greenberger said in an email to staff that reporter Cheyenne Haslett was denied entry and her pass was seized.

Trump announced the ban in a Truth Social post on Friday, calling the outlets “Fake News” and accusing them of reporting “FICTION and LIES.” The White House declined to comment beyond Trump’s post.

CNN said in a statement that it “stands fully behind our White House team and their fair and accurate reporting” and asserted its right under the U.S. Constitution to report “without hindrance or interference from the government.” MS NOW said it would take “any and all steps necessary to defend our First Amendment rights.” Politico said it would “vigorously defend our First Amendment rights against any attempt to restrict them.”

Press freedom groups condemned the move. Seth Stern, advocacy director at the Freedom of the Press Foundation, called the ban “a blatant violation of the First Amendment.” Jameel Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, said courts have repeatedly ruled against such restrictions. The National Press Club said the ban would mark “an unprecedented assault on press freedom.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer likened Trump’s actions to those of an autocrat.

Trump bans CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House President Trump said Friday he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House "effective immediately," escalating his long-running battles with news organizations.Early Saturday morning, Politico, CNN and MS NOW said their journalists were denied access to White House grounds. Why it matters: Trump is seeking to use White House access against news outlets whose coverage he objects to, while threatening to target additional organizations.Press freedom groups immediately called on news outlets to fight the bans.Driving the news: Trumps Truth Social post called the three outlets "Fake News" and accused them of reporting "FICTION and LIES," before threatening to also ban other "Fake News Media Outlets."The White House declined to comment beyond Trumps post."CNN stands fully behind our White House team and their fair and accurate reporting," the network posted on X. "We have a right under the U.S. Constitution to do that reporting without hindrance or interference from the government. Should the ban which President Trump threatened go ahead, it would be an illegal assault on that fundamental and constitutionally-protected right."Politico similarly wrote that it "will continue to fairly report on this White House and future ones. We will vigorously defend our First Amendment rights against any attempt to restrict them."Between the lines: The scope of the ban wasnt immediately clear. As of shortly after the post, CNN continued to work from the White House, the network reported.But Saturday morning MS NOWs journalists were unable to gain access. "MS NOW intends to take any and all steps necessary to defend our First Amendment rights and the essential role of independent journalism in our democracy," the network said in a statement. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has previously held that once the White House opens general press facilities to journalists, access cant be denied arbitrarily, and press pass restrictions must come with due process.A divided appellate court last year said the White House does have broader discretion over which journalists enter restricted spaces like the Oval Office and Air Force One. That case, brought by the Associated Press, remains unresolved.Friction point: Trump has previously moved to restrict access for reporters and outlets he has clashed with.In 2018, the White House revoked CNN reporter Jim Acostas credential. A federal judge later ordered the pass restored.Last year, the administration barred the AP from some events because it continued to use "Gulf of Mexico," sparking the still-pending First Amendment case.State of play: The White House took control of selecting the presidential press pool from the White House Correspondents Association last year.The Pentagon has also restricted press access, but a federal judge this year struck down parts of its credentialing policy. The Defense Department responded with a different restrictive policy that was also blocked, though that decision has been stayed pending appeal.Last month, the Treasury Department denied credentials to some journalists who sought to cover the G20 meeting in North Carolina.What theyre saying: Press freedom groups raised alarms about Trumps announced ban.Seth Stern, Freedom of the Press Foundations advocacy director, called banning outlets over their coverage "a blatant violation of the First Amendment" and urged news outlets to challenge restrictions.Jameel Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, compared the move to Trumps efforts targeting universities and law firms."With so many courts having ruled against him on exactly this point, youd think President Trump would have learned this lesson by now," Jaffer said in a statement.The National Press Club blasted the move as well. "Every American should understand what is at stake. If implemented, this ban would mark an unprecedented assault on press freedom," president Mark Schoeff Jr. said in a statement.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer likened Trumps actions to those of an autocrat. "Donald Trump just did what dictators throughout history have done," Schumer wrote on X. "@realDonaldTrump- this is a democracy. You will not be able to manipulate the news or hide the truth."Editors note: This story has been updated with new information throughout.

«Надоело»: Трамп запретил журналистам из нескольких изданий посещать Белый дом Президент США Дональд Трамп объявил о «немедленном» запрете на посещение Белого дома для сотрудников CNN, MS NOW (ранее MSNBC) и Politico. Об этом сообщает «Би-би-си».Президент США написал в Truth Social, что эти СМИ постоянно распространяют «выдумки или ложь» о его администрации. Конкретных примеров президент не привел. Он также допустил, что в будущем запрет может коснуться других изданий.Позднее Трамп заявил журналистам, что непосредственного повода для решения не было, но за несколько лет накопилось достаточно претензий к работе СМИ. «Надоело», — сказал Трамп. На следующий день MS NOW сообщил, что его журналистов уже не пустили в Белый дом.🔵 Реакция. CNN назвала решение незаконным и пообещала защищать право своих журналистов работать без вмешательства властей. Институт Найта по Первой поправке при Колумбийском университете и Комитет репортеров за свободу печати также назвали запрет неконституционным. Они указали, что администрация не может лишать журналистов доступа к Белому дому из-за содержания их публикаций.🔵 Контекст. В феврале 2025 года администрация Трампа взяла под свой контроль формирование президентского пресс-пула, которым более ста лет занималась Ассоциация корреспондентов при Белом доме. Тогда же журналистам Associated Press ограничили доступ в Овальный кабинет и президентский самолет из-за отказа агентства называть Мексиканский залив Американским.
