Trump Bans CNN, Politico and MSNOW from the White House For Repeatedly Reporting Fake News

President Trump’s decision to ban CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House will likely spark a legal battle.

Recall that the Associated Press was previously banned from certain White House spaces and press pool events after the news organization refused to refer to adopt the renaming of the “Gulf of America.”

Last year, President Trump blocked the far-left AP from the Oval Office from defying his executive order renaming the Gulf as “Gulf of America.”

The Associated Press filed a lawsuit against the Trump White House and a federal judge previously sided with the AP.

In April 2025, US District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, granted the AP’s injunction against the White House and lifted the block as the lawsuit makes its way through the courts.

Judge McFadden clarified that the government can choose which journalists to participate in specific interview.

However, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that President Trump can ban the AP from the Oval Office.

The three-judge panel included the majority: Rao (Trump), Katsas (Trump) and the dissent: Pillard (Obama).
