Summarised from 12 outlets · Updated 21 Sept, 18:40

President Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, prompting the three outlets to file a lawsuit.

Trump announced on Friday he was banning the three outlets, accusing them of distributing 'fake news' and posing a national security threat. Journalists from all three organisations were turned away from the White House on Saturday. The outlets filed a lawsuit on Monday claiming the ban violates the First Amendment, and other major US broadcasters suspended White House TV pool coverage in solidarity.
