Reporters from CNN, Politico, and MS-NOW were denied access to the White House grounds on Saturday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ban on certain media outlets. Journalists attempted to enter the premises but found their credentials invalid, leading to the confiscation of their badges. The situation has sparked concerns over press freedom, with CNN describing the action as an “illegal assault” on free media. The ban reportedly targets outlets deemed to have published false information, though no official statement has clarified the full list of affected media. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between the administration and the press, with no immediate indication of a reversal in policy.
