Donald Trump’s own officials are risking his wrath by continuing to pay one of the media outlets he just barred from the White House.
In the latest acrimonious bout between the president and the press, Trump, 80, announced last week that he was no longer willing to allow Politico, MS NOW, and CNN to enter the executive mansion. In doing so, he cited his axing last year of an “illegal and ridiculous” $8.2 million Politico “subscription,” which he said the Biden administration had agreed to.
The three news outlets said in a joint statement Monday that they were suing the Trump administration, asking a federal judge to reverse the ban, which “could not be a more direct assault on the First Amendment nor a more blatant violation of our most fundamental constitutional principles.”
