Quick Summary

CNN, MS NOW, and Politico expanded their lawsuit against the Trump administration on October 28 to challenge continued restrictions on their access to White House facilities and events, despite a court order from September 24 that required reinstatement of their press credentials. The media companies seek a federal judge's intervention to prevent further retaliation and ensure they can participate in press pools for Oval Office briefings and Air Force One trips. The White House responded by defending the restrictions, stating that "Fake News" outlets do not deserve access to the President’s private spaces.

Story summary

CNN, MS NOW, and Politico expanded their lawsuit on October 28 against President Donald Trump's administration, challenging continued restrictions on their access to the White House despite a federal judge’s order to restore it. The outlets filed an amended complaint in US District Court asking for a permanent injunction to prevent the White House from barring them from press pools covering events in the Oval Office and aboard Air Force One. Judge Timothy Kelly had previously ordered the Trump administration to reinstate access on September 24, but the news organizations claim they continue to face retaliation for their coverage. The White House responded that "the Fake News has no place demanding a spot in the President’s Oval Office."
