CNN, MS NOW, and Politico have sued President Donald Trump over his decision to ban them from White House grounds, arguing that the move violates their First Amendment rights and threatens press freedom. The lawsuit, filed by the three news organizations, claims the ban is unconstitutional and based on the content of their coverage. According to France24, the ban represents an escalation in Trump's efforts to restrict media outlets he finds objectionable. Trump declined to say whether the White House will follow a court decision if a district court judge rules against the ban. In response to the ban, major US outlets have suspended shared coverage of Trump, citing the disruption caused by the media restrictions. Meanwhile, Rubio has defended the ban.
