President Trump announced Friday he is banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House "effective immediately," citing unfavorable coverage he characterized as "fake news" and "fiction and lies." Journalists from all three outlets were denied access to White House grounds on Saturday. Legal challenges based on First Amendment grounds are anticipated, with observers questioning the enforceability and constitutionality of the ban.
