Trump announces he is barring CNN, "MS NOW" and "Politico" from the White House

US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he has banned the television networks CNN and "MS NOW", as well as the publication "Politico", from accessing the White House.

Trump reportedly made the announcement with visible satisfaction, publicly stating that access for these outlets would be denied.

Which outlets are affected

The decision concerns three influential American media organizations — CNN, one of the largest news broadcasters in the world, the television network "MS NOW", and the political publication "Politico", widely known for its coverage of Washington politics.

The source report does not provide further detail on what exactly the access ban entails — whether it means a full revocation of credentials, restrictions on attending press briefings, or other measures. No specific reason for Trump's decision was given either.

The announcement points to continued tension between the Trump administration and several major US media outlets, which the president and his representatives have repeatedly criticized over their news coverage.
