CNN, MS NOW, Politico reporters blocked from White House after Trump ban

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · North America

White House correspondents for CNN, MS NOW and Politico on Saturday were blocked from entering the US president's office and residence a day after President Donald Trump announced he was banning the three media outlets for what he called "fake news" coverage. News organisations and press freedom groups have slammed the move as unconstitutional.
