A security officer asked her to hand over the badge and told her that the decision was \u201cabove him\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>A photographer from the network was also denied access, while one of its producers was allowed onto the White House grounds. It was not immediately clear why their access differed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>MS NOW said the White House belongs to the American people and that the network would take \u201cany and all steps necessary\u201d to defend its First Amendment rights and the role of independent journalists in a democracy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>Why did Trump ban MS NOW, CNN, Politico?<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Trump announced the ban on Friday, accusing the three outlets of repeatedly reporting what he called \u201cFAKE NEWS\u201d. In a Truth Social post, he said media organisations \u201cshouldn\u2019t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES\u201d while covering the president.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Asked about the decision in the Oval Office, Trump said it was based on \u201ccumulative stories over the last few years\u201d. He did not identify any specific report that prompted the ban. Trump also warned that other news organisations could face similar action.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>CNN said it stood behind its White House team and its \u201cfair and accurate reporting\u201d. Politico rejected Trump&#8217;s claim that it had received government subsidies, saying the allegation had been \u201cthoroughly debunked\u201d, and said it would defend its First Amendment rights.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>Trump\u2019s wider media fight<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The latest move comes amid Trump&#8217;s broader clashes with news organisations over their coverage of his administration. <!-- -->Earlier, his administration restricted Associated Press access to certain White House spaces after the news agency declined to use the administration&#8217;s preferred name for the Gulf of Mexico.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Trump has also taken legal action against several media organisations, including the BBC, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, accusing them of defamation.
