Trump bars CNN, MSNBC and Politico from White House access citing 'fiction and lies'

U.S. President Donald Trump announced he has barred CNN, MSNBC and Politico from White House access.

He said the move was prompted by their reporting, which he described as "fiction and lies," and warned that other news organizations could face similar restrictions.

The announcement focused on access to the White House; it did not specify start or end dates for the restrictions.

The statement did not provide details on appeals, enforcement procedures, or responses from the affected outlets.

Trump framed the measure as a response to particular reporting by the named organizations; the statement did not identify which stories or reports it referenced.
