White House Revokes Press Access for CNN, MS NOW and Politico Reporters

Journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico reported that their White House press credentials were confiscated after the Trump administration moved to restrict access for some media outlets, BBC News reported.

According to the outlets, reporters were denied entry to the White House grounds after their press badges were taken, effectively ending their ability to cover the administration from inside the building.

The move follows a decision by President Trump to ban certain media organizations from the White House, though the specific criteria used to determine which outlets were affected has not been detailed, according to the report.

CNN, MS NOW and Politico have not yet issued detailed statements on the incident beyond confirming that their journalists' credentials were revoked, BBC News said.

The White House has not provided a public explanation for the badge confiscations at the time of reporting.

The development comes amid ongoing tension between the Trump administration and segments of the media, though further details on the scope and duration of the access restrictions were not immediately available.
