[CNN and Other US Media Reporters Denied Entry to White House] Several reporters from CNN, MS Now, and Politico were denied entry to the White House on the 19th. The three media outlets believe the White House's action is "illegal" and have hinted at potential legal action. The White House has declined to comment. US President Trump stated on social media on the 18th that CNN, MS Now, and Politico were banned from the White House for "persistently publishing fake news," and that the order was "effective immediately." On the 19th, several reporters from these three media outlets were turned away by the White House. CNN and MS Now reporters reported their experiences live from near the White House. MS Now reporter Akira Gardner reported that she passed through the first two security checkpoints at the White House but was stopped at the checkpoint requiring her White House press pass to be scanned.
