Trump Administration Accuses Media Outlets of Falsehoods

BBC World · world

The US Justice Department has accused three banned media outlets of "trafficking in verifiable falsehoods" and reporting that "threatened national security." The outlets, CNN, Politico, and MS NOW, were barred from the White House last week by President Donald Trump. They have filed a joint legal action, arguing the ban is unconstitutional and infringes on press freedom. A judge is set to rule on Wednesday whether to temporarily lift the ban pending a full hearing.
