President Donald Trump has banned journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from accessing the White House, according to multiple news outlets. The move, announced on Friday, was reportedly enforced immediately, with the White House confiscating press passes from reporters from these outlets. The decision follows criticism of the outlets' coverage of Trump and comes amid heightened tensions between the administration and the media. The ban has drawn sharp criticism from press freedom advocates, with some outlets indicating they may pursue legal action. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) criticized the move, accusing Trump of misusing the Constitution. The White House did not immediately comment on the reports, but the actions mark a significant escalation in the administration's approach to media relations. Multiple sources, including The Verge, CNBC, CBS News, BBC, ABC News, Al Jazeera, France24, and The Hill, have confirmed the bans and the denial of access to White House press credentials.
