The news organizations, which sued the US president, are claiming the ban violates the first amendment
The US Department of Justicehas defended Donald Trump’s decision to ban three new organizations from the White House in a court filing, arguing that access to the grounds was a “privilege” and citing national security concerns.
Lawyers for the US president doubled down on Trump’s claims about CNN, Politico and MS Now reporting “Fake News” and insisted the ban did not violate the first amendment because “access to the White House is a privilege, not a right”.
