Add The New York Times on GoogleAgrega The New York Times en Google CNN, MS NOW and Politico on Monday sued the Trump administration for barring them from the White House grounds, saying it was a violation of their First Amendment rights to cover the president.President Trump on Friday declared a ban on the three news outlets, saying he was fed up with what he described as negative coverage. On Saturday, reporters from each outlet were denied access to the White House. On Monday, in an extraordinary escalation of the standoff, major television networks agreed to suspend their pooled coverage of President Trump after the White House refused to allow CNN to serve as a pool representative. The three news organizations suing the Trump administration issued a joint statement on Monday.\u201cWithout notice or process, the White House revoked our journalists\u2019 credentials because it objected to our reporting,\u201d they said. \u201cLeft unchallenged, this threatens press freedom and the public\u2019s right to independent journalism free from government interference.\u201dThe joint complaint, which was filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said that the \u201cConstitution does not allow a president or any other government official to deprive the press of their First Amendment rights and liberty and property interests with no notice or process based solely on his dislike of the content of their reporting.\u201dAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTThe news outlets asked the court to restore their access to the White House as quickly as possible. They filed a separate motion seeking an emergency order that would remain in effect while the litigation unfolds. \u201cAs a result of the ban, they have lost the ability to perform essential newsgathering at the seat of the executive branch, where critically important newsworthy events occur every day,\u201d the complaint reads.In a Monday post on Truth Social, the platform he owns, Mr. Trump wrote: \u201cThe White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America.\u201dThe president\u2019s ban represents a significant escalation in his ongoing battles with the news media, particularly in Washington. Mr. Trump has brought friendlier outlets into the White House briefing room and moved to bar one publication, The Associated Press, from the Oval Office, which is also being challenged in court. But he had not barred any outlets from the entire White House grounds.Press freedom advocates and other media outlets have blasted the ban as unconstitutional. \u201cNo news organization \u2014 or person \u2014 should be retaliated against by the government over the words they use,\u201d said Lauren Easton, chief communications officer for The A.P., in a Saturday statement.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTIn previous legal fights about journalist access, federal courts have ruled that once government officials open their doors to a press corps they may not boot specific outlets just because they don\u2019t like the gist of their reporting.During Mr. Trump\u2019s first term, the White House rescinded the credentials of two journalists, CNN\u2019s Jim Acosta and the Playboy correspondent Brian Karem. Both were restored after separate court challenges, and in each case, judges highlighted a requirement that before yanking press passes, the White House must provide the affected journalists a chance to rebut the grounds for doing so.In this case, the outlets \u201creceived zero advance notice,\u201d according to the lawsuit.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
