CNN, MSNBC and Politico say they will file a lawsuit against Donald Trump’s White House. The media groups argue that the ban limits who can report news from the government. They say the key issue is press freedom. In their view, the government should not decide what journalists can publish or report. They call this a basic principle in a free society. The outlets plan to defend their right to cover events without political control. Their legal action aims to challenge the White House decision and ask the court to stop or change the ban.
