Trump bans CNN, MSNBC and Politico from White House
Trump banned three major US news outlets from White House access, citing fake news allegations.
Trump said on Truth Social Friday he was banning CNN, MSNBC and Politico from the White House, citing what he called their "constant fake news" coverage. The ban took effect right away, with more to follow.
A CNN reporter was still at the White House Friday afternoon. No evidence showed Trump's threat was being enforced.
Politico's inclusion was unusual. Trump claimed the outlet got $US8 million from Biden's administration, though it was actually subscription money.
