Trump Bans CNN, MSNBC, Politico From White House.
President Trump announced Friday he is banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, saying the move is effective immediately.
- Trump posted the announcement on Truth Social Friday afternoon.
- He cited an alleged $8 million government subscription to Politico under President Biden.
- Trump warned "other fake news media outlets" would face the same ban.
- A full White House ban would be unprecedented among recent administrations.
Why it matters: Prior administrations limited access to specific events but did not bar outlets from White House grounds entirely.
- If enforced, the ban would likely face First Amendment legal challenges, according to the New York Post.
