00:03MSNOW, CNN, and Politico are set to sue President Trump on Monday over his decision to ban the
00:09three outlets from the White House, according to CNBC.
00:12The lawsuit argues the ban violates the First Amendment and the Constitution's Due Process
00:16Clause because the outlets lost access without notice or an opportunity to challenge the
00:21decision.
00:22The organizations will ask a federal judge for a temporary restraining order, requiring
00:26the White House to restore their press credentials.
00:28Reporters from all three organizations were denied entry to the White House on Saturday.
00:33Trump said he banned the three outlets over what he called false and cumulative coverage
00:37about him and warned that other media outlets could be next.
00:41MSNOW said it would defend its First Amendment rights and continue reporting on Trump and
00:45his administration.
00:47CNN and Politico said they have a constitutional right to report the news without government
00:52interference.
