White House access for reporters from CNN, Politico, and MS NOW has been cut off by President Donald Trump. Jacqui Heinrich, a senior White House correspondent at Fox News and president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, is now pressing him to reverse that decision. She said the ban “violates” the First Amendment.
Her statement came out on Saturday, a day after Trump said the three outlets would be barred. On Saturday morning, the administration put the restriction in place and kept those journalists off White House grounds.
