What happened

Well supportedReported by 32 independent outlets

President Donald Trump banned three news outlets—CNN, MS NOW, and Politico—from entering the White House. Trump stated that the bans were due to objections regarding the outlets' reporting content. While the outlets were banned, CNN was present at the United Nations as a credentialed correspondent.

Why it matters
