Justice Department allows Trump to block media access
The U.S. Department of Justice has concluded that the White House can prohibit media outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from covering events inside the presidential residence upon the request of President Donald Trump, ahead of a court hearing. The media organizations filed a lawsuit after Trump issued a decision preventing them from entering the White House, arguing that this ban violates the constitutional freedom of the press. The department emphasized that entry to the White House is a privilege, not a right, and that the ban was implemented because media reports claimed the administration considered them threats to national security and sources of misinformation. In a show of solidarity, American media outlets announced a suspension of coverage of the White House, while the court is expected to review the matter today, amid ongoing debate over press freedom amid current political tensions.
