Origin: Trump bans CNN, MS NOW, Politico from White House

President Trump announced Friday he is banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. He said the outlets constantly report “FICTION and LIES” and warned others could be added. He told reporters there was no single story that triggered the move and said he wanted the ban to go as far as it can.

By Saturday morning, MS NOW’s Akayla Gardner, CNN’s Betsy Klein, and Politico’s Cheyenne Haslett were stopped at the security kiosk and denied entry. Their press passes were deactivated and taken, and a CNN photographer’s pass was also seized. An MS NOW producer was allowed in even as other staff from the network were blocked.

The three outlets lost routine access to the White House grounds and the spaces they use to work. “I don’t have to let them into the people’s house,” Trump said. He also signaled more outlets could face the same treatment.
