DOJ Defends Trump Administration's Ban on CNN, Politico, and MS NOW
The Department of Justice filed a court response defending President Trump's ban on CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from White House coverage, citing national security concerns and characterizing White House access as a privilege rather than a right. The three outlets have filed a lawsuit challenging the ban, and the DOJ submission came minutes before a court-ordered deadline.

Left-leaning outlets framed the ban as unjustified and evidence-free, with The New Republic stating Trump failed to provide actual evidence for national security claims. Coverage emphasized the administration "gave away the game" by defending the ban without substantiation.
