Content overview: “CNN, MS NOW and Politico Sue Trump Over White House Press Ban”. Three major news organizations — CNN, MS NOW and Politico — have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration after being barred from White House grounds.

France 24's Kethevane Gorjestani described the ban as an escalation even by the standards of Trump's long-running efforts to restrict news coverage he finds objectionable.
