🔸 Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America, says he will ban CNN, Amazon and Politico from the White House.
On Friday, September 27, Mr. Trump accused those media outlets of publishing "fake news" and said other media outlets may face similar restrictions. A White House official told Fox News that the ban will take effect on Saturday.
Trump said that his decision stems from the "accumulation" of reports by these media in recent years, and it was not triggered by a specific event. He also mentioned the New York Times and the Washington Post.
The exact scope of this ban is unclear, but legal experts argue that denying media access to the White House news facilities could run afoul of the First Amendment's guarantees of press freedom.
🔸CNN referred to this action as an "illegal ground attack" against the constitutional rights of journalists, and Politico announced that it would defend its rights based on the First Amendment.
