The Trump administration has accused CNN, Politico and MS NOW of making false statements in a legal response submitted before an upcoming court hearing.
The response was filed by the US Justice Department in relation to a lawsuit brought by the three media outlets. The administration has described the organisations as banned media outlets, although no further details about the restrictions are provided in the available material.
The Justice Department’s filing also refers to national security. The document sets out the administration’s position as the case moves towards a hearing, where the dispute involving the three outlets is expected to be considered.
No details of the hearing date, the specific claims made in the lawsuit or the alleged falsehoods are included in the supplied material. The latest known development is the Justice Department’s response ahead of the court proceedings.
