CNN, MS NOW, and Politico have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration. They claim the removal of press access to the White House is an attack on the First Amendment. On Monday, CNN was excluded from its role in the rotating pool of TV journalists who cover the White House. The TV pool stated there would be no journalist replacement for covering President Trump’s visit to New York for the UN General Assembly.
