Trump announces he will ban CNN and two other media outlets from White House

US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he is banning three major news outlets, CNN, MS Now, and Politico, from access to the White House, accusing them of 'reporting fake news.' In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed these outlets frequently publish 'fiction and lies' when covering his administration or the United States. He emphasized that media outlets should not be allowed to 'constantly write or report FICTION and LIES' about the president. While CNN's team continued working at the White House as if it were a normal day, the move is expected to face legal challenges under the First Amendment. This follows a pattern of Trump's ongoing disputes with the press, including past actions such as barring the Associated Press from covering his movements due to naming preferences. Democratic Representative Frank Pallone criticized the decision as censorship, stating that Trump's actions would not improve his presidency's image.

Trump bans CNN and other major newsrooms from the White House

US President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that he is banning news outlets CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House, accusing them of reporting 'fake news' and 'lies.'

Trump says CNN, MS NOW, Politico banned from White House

In September 2026, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that news outlets CNN, MSNOW, and Politico are banned from the White House due to accusations of reporting 'fake news.' He claimed these outlets consistently publish falsehoods about himself, his administration, and the country. The ban, which takes effect immediately, is expected to face legal challenges under the First Amendment. This action follows a pattern of Trump’s efforts to restrict media access during his two presidential terms, including past incidents like barring a CNN reporter and restricting The Washington Post during the Watergate scandal. While the White House has notified the outlets of the ban, reporters for Politico and CNN remained in the press room after the announcement. Trump’s repeated attacks on the media come amid low approval ratings and political challenges ahead of the midterms.
