Trump says he expects difficulty in lawsuit over White House media ban
Three news organizations banned from the White House have sued, while other television networks halted pool coverage in solidarity.
President Donald Trump said he would probably lose a lawsuit filed by news organizations barred from the White House, according to the Guardian’s live coverage.
The three affected outlets filed suit after being banned, while four television networks that participate in the White House TV pool decided to stop coverage in solidarity with CNN, which was among the organizations affected by access restrictions.
Trump again criticized media coverage in public comments and attributed his expectation about the case to the judge assigned to it. The supplied item does not include the full legal arguments from either side, so the dispute remains before the courts rather than resolved.
