🔸After the White House sought to announce Donald Trump, the U.S. president, regarding a ban on the entry of journalists from the CNN, MSNBC, and Politico news networks into the premises of the building, the reporters of two news networks on Saturday, 28 Shahrivar, prepared their reports from outside the White House.

🔸Mr. Trump on Friday accused these outlets of publishing “fake news” and said that other media may also face similar restrictions.

🔸Trump said his decision was prompted by the “accumulation” of reports from these media over the past years and was not the result of any specific incident. He also mentioned The New York Times and The Washington Post.

🔸The exact scope of this ban is not clear, but legal experts say denying the media public access to news facilities at the White House could be at odds with the First Amendment guarantees of the U.S. Constitution regarding freedom of the press.

🔸CNN called this action, if carried out, an “unlawful attack” on journalists’ constitutional right, and Politico also said it would defend its rights under the First Amendment.
