CNN and MS NOW said their reporters were denied access to the White House after Donald Trump banned some media organisations from entering. The two outlets also said the reporters’ White House badges were confiscated.
The organisations described the access restriction as affecting their reporters, although the supplied information does not identify which other media outlets had been banned or explain when the decisions were made.
The reports centre on access for journalists covering the White House and the removal of the reporters’ credentials. No further details about the reasons for the restrictions, the identity of the affected reporters or any response from the White House are provided.
The latest known position is that CNN and MS NOW say their journalists remain unable to access the White House following the restrictions and badge confiscations.
