The Trump administration is defending its decision to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House access in an upcoming court hearing. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has cited national security concerns and accused the outlets of spreading 'falsehoods' and failing to maintain 'professionalism and decorum,' according to reports from the BBC, NPR, and CBS News. The media outlets are suing the administration over the removal of their press credentials, with the case set to be heard by a US district judge. Al Jazeera English reported that the news organizations are scheduled to present their case on Wednesday afternoon. Meanwhile, CNBC noted that the DOJ cited national security concerns in justifying the ban during a Tuesday night hearing. The case has drawn attention from legal experts, as seen in a France24 interview with Steven Herman of the Jordan Center for Journalism Advocacy and Innovation. Pundit Don Lemon suggested that CNN may have contributed to the situation by aligning with 'MAGA folks,' according to The Hill. The court is expected to rule soon on the legality of the White House's media restrictions.
