Reporters from CNN, MS NOW and Politico say they were prevented from entering the White House grounds after President Donald Trump announced plans to ban all three outlets.
The three media organisations claim that, following the announcement, they were denied access to the White House property and were unable to carry out their reporting duties on the premises.
Trump’s statement, made publicly, indicated that the administration intended to prohibit the outlets from operating within the White House grounds.
MS NOW, CNN and Politico are well‑known news organisations that regularly cover the White House and U.S. politics.
There are no further details in the report about the circumstances of the ban or any subsequent actions by the outlets.
