Three news outlets are telling a federal court that the White House is defying a judge's orders by refusing to let them return to covering President Donald Trump. CNN, MS NOW, and Politico say the president is retaliating against them for reports he dislikes. A judge previously ordered the administration to cancel its ban on the outlets. The outlets' attorney says the White House continues to block reporters from covering Trump in key locations. The filing asks the court to make previous orders permanent. The news organizations argue that the president is practicing “viewpoint discrimination” forbidden by the First Amendment.

A new lawsuit against President Donald Trump's media ban stakes a claim for the public itself. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of six ordinary citizens. It argues that Trump's bans on media outlets whose content he dislikes violate the public's right to independent reporting about the government. Filed Monday in New York, the suit seeks not only restored media access for affected outlets, but broader relief on behalf of all journalists who cover the White House. The suit seeks to protect all news outlets from retaliation, now and in the future. The plaintiffs argue that restrictions on disfavored news organizations deprive the public of essential reporting.

CNN has threatened further legal action if its journalists continue to be denied access to Air Force One. The network has been in a legal battle with Donald Trump’s administration since the president banned it and two other outlets from White House grounds, calling their content “Fake News.” Last week, a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction against the ban. However, CNN remains barred from TV pool coverage of Trump’s travel on Air Force One. CNN attorney Theodore J. Boutrous Jr. wrote a letter Monday to the Justice Department threatening additional legal action. The department did not respond to a request for comment.
