CNN Denied White House Access, Vows Legal Action Amidst Press Restrictions

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Cable News Network (CNN) announced on Saturday that its news team was prevented from entering the White House after President Donald Trump‘s ban, stating that the network will take legal action.

Similarly, MSNBC issued a statement indicating that its news team was denied access to the White House following President Trump’s declaration prohibiting several media outlets from entering the presidential residence.

U.S. President Donald Trump had announced on Friday that access to the White House would be forbidden for CNN, MS NOW, and the news outlet POLITICO.

Trump justified the ban by claiming that CNN, MS NOW (MSNBC), and POLITICO were prohibited from entering the White House due to their persistent publication of false news.

Without providing further details, he added that other media outlets would also be barred from entering the White House if they continue to publish fabricated news.
