The White House continues to argue that its move to bar CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from its grounds is within presidential authority, claiming that presidents have long decided which journalists receive privileged access. The government's latest filing aligns with the Trump administration's legal arguments in other access battles with the media, stating that the barred outlets failed to meet professional standards and threatened national security or spread falsehoods with their reporting.
