Media Outlets Sue Over White House Ban as Networks Pause Pool Coverage
TL;DR Summary
CNN, MS NOW and Politico sued the Trump administration after being barred from the White House, arguing the action violates their First Amendment rights; in response, ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC suspended their pooled TV coverage of Trump events. A federal hearing with Judge Timothy J. Kelly is set for Wednesday as the outlets seek an emergency order to restore access and protect press freedom while other outlets continue to cover events through non-pool means.
