Waltz made the remarks on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, telling anchor Dana Bash that Trump was “absolutely within his rights” to limit journalists’ access to government facilities.

The comments came as the three news organisations prepare to challenge Trump’s decision in court.

organisations → come → court

Trump announced Friday that CNN, MS NOW and Politico would be barred from the White House, accusing them of repeatedly publishing what he called “FAKE NEWS”.
He later said the decision was based on what he described as “cumulative stories over the last few years” and warned that other outlets could also face restrictions.

asserted
journalists → say → responsibility
When pressed again on whether Trump's decision violated the First Amendment, he repeated that stance rather than directly answering the constitutional question.
He also said the White House media restrictions would not affect Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections, arguing that voters would make their choices based on their lives, future and families.
asserted
voters → press → lives
