CNN, MS NOW and Politico have filed a lawsuit challenging a ban imposed by the White House, according to BBC News. The supplied material does not specify the precise terms of the ban, the legal grounds of the challenge or the court in which the case was filed. It separately reports that major US networks later suspended television coverage of President Donald Trump as he travelled to New York for the United Nations summit.
The material does not identify all the networks involved or explain whether the suspension was directly connected to the lawsuit and the White House action. No response from the administration, the companies involved or the court is included. The available information therefore establishes the filing and the later broadcasting decision, but not the legal arguments or any ruling.
The events concern access to and coverage of the White House, although the source does not provide further context about the dispute.
