Add The New York Times on GoogleAgrega The New York Times en Google White House officials said in a court filing Tuesday that President Trump had determined that CNN, MS NOW and Politico had breached standards of conduct, leading to their expulsion from the White House grounds. The alleged violations, said the filing, include \u201ctrafficking in verifiable falsehoods about national security and other issues, and publishing sensitive or classified information.\u201d\u201cAccess to the White House is a privilege \u2014 not a right,\u201d reads the filing, which argues that Mr. Trump\u2019s action against the three news outlets does not violate the First Amendment and aligns with a long history of presidents favoring some journalists over others. The filing, furthermore, claims that the White House\u2019s denial of access is a preliminary matter and that the outlets have until Friday to contest the decision. AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTThe clash began last Friday, when Mr. Trump announced on Truth Social, the platform that he owns, that he would ban the three outlets, saying they \u201cshouldn\u2019t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES.\u201d On Saturday morning, journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico were denied access to the White House grounds and had their press passes confiscated.By Monday morning, the news organizations had sued, arguing that the president\u2019s ban \u201cbrazenly discriminates based on editorial viewpoint,\u201d and was an affront to their First Amendment rights. They said that the move had blindsided its targets, depriving the outlets of the warning that any such drastic action required. They \u201creceived zero advance notice that the president would ban a news organization from the White House if he dislikes its coverage,\u201d according to the complaint.U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly, who was nominated in 2017 by Mr. Trump, will hold an emergency hearing on Wednesday to consider the media outlets\u2019 request for a temporary court order undoing the access ban. The government filing Tuesday night included copies of letters sent earlier in the day to each banned news outlet. In addition to accusing the organizations of failing to meet standards of conduct, the letters identified specific stories that allegedly either spread falsehoods or threatened national security. The letter to CNN, for example, cited a January 2026 story that \u201cdisclosed \u2018top-secret\u2019 construction details related to the East Wing bunker,\u201d the letter reads. One of MS NOW\u2019s alleged infractions, according to a White House letter, was a June 2026 story claiming \u201ca source said that President Trump \u2018underestimated the willingness of Iran to resume conflict.\u2019\u201d Politico is accused of publishing a \u201cdocument detailing funding for the White House ballroom containing intricate descriptions of how the Secret Service would invest in security improvements,\u201d according to a White House letter. AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTThe three media outlets did not immediately comment on the White House\u2019s filing.In their lawsuit, the media outlets argued that the White House hadn\u2019t afforded them due process to contest their expulsion. In its response, the White House claims that it has provided the companies with \u201csufficient post-deprivation process.\u201dIn 2018, Judge Kelly ruled against Mr. Trump in another media access case. Mr. Trump had expelled CNN reporter Jim Acosta from the White House grounds. But Judge Kelly ordered his credentials restored, saying Mr. Trump hadn\u2019t given Mr. Acosta enough notice to challenge the action.Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social last week that in light of Judge Kelly\u2019s ruling in the Acosta case, the government would \u201calmost without question\u201d have to appeal the upcoming ruling. Other news organizations have responded to the ban with acts of support and solidarity. The consortium of five TV networks that covers the president as the so-called TV pool \u2014 ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News and CNN \u2014 suspended its immersive coverage of Mr. Trump, and some news outlets temporarily withheld publication of photos of Mr. Trump\u2019s events.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
