Trump says three news outlets are barred from White House
President Donald Trump said CNN, MS NOW and Politico were immediately barred from the White House because of reporting he called fake news. The outlets said they would pursue legal action, while press-freedom advocates condemned the move. Multiple RSS reports said the decision was likely to face a constitutional challenge.
Why it matters
The move creates another legal test over whether a president may restrict White House access based on an outlet's coverage.
