Legal confrontation between Trump and 3 media institutions after being banned from the White House

Legal confrontation between Trump and 3 media institutions after being banned from the White House

Three major media institutions, CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, filed a lawsuit against US President Donald Trump on Monday, protesting the ban on their representatives from entering the White House, considering the decision to violate their constitutional rights to cover presidential activities and news.

In a complaint to the Federal Court in Washington, DC, the media institutions said that Trump has no right to ban them just because he does not like what he calls their 'negative' news coverage, and only allow media outlets that praise him to cover. They added that the public has the right to obtain 'complete and timely information' when it comes to the performance of their government.

They said, 'This ban clearly represents a direct attack on the First Amendment of the Constitution and a blatant violation of our fundamental constitutional principles'.
