CNN, MS NOW and Politico have filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the Trump administration after the White House revoked their journalists’ access over coverage President Donald Trump criticised as “negative”. The outlets are seeking the restoration of their press credentials, with the case expected to come before a federal judge in Washington, DC, this week.
“This morning, we notified the government that we are filing a lawsuit today to protect our First Amendment rights and defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes,” the three organisations said in a joint statement on Monday.
