What happened, for context

President Donald Trump announced Sunday, September 20, 2026, a ban on three news outlets—CNN, MS NOW, and Politico—from the White House, citing their coverage as "fake news." The three outlets announced Monday, September 21, that they had filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., arguing the ban violated their First Amendment and Fifth Amendment rights. Other major networks announced they would not provide pool television coverage while the ban remained in effect.
