CNN, MS NOW and Politico announce lawsuit over White House press bans

CNN, MS NOW and Politico said they would sue after the White House revoked their journalists' credentials; President Trump denied attacking press freedom.

The three news organizations said they would file suit after their journalists were denied entry to the White House and had their passes confiscated. They allege the administration revoked access because it objected to their reporting.

President Trump defended the bans, accusing the outlets of lacking credibility and denying that the administration was attacking the free press.
