India, Sept. 22 -- CNN, MS NOW and Politico on Monday sued President Donald Trump's administration days after they were barred from covering the White House, calling the selective ban an illegal action and "a blatant violation" of the First Amendment. The three outlets filed the joint lawsuit two days after their reporters were blocked from the White House and prevented from doing their jobs. CNN, meanwhile, was removed from its pool duties, which are shared by the five major networks. In an email to members, the TV pool wrote there would be no replacement coverage following the White House actions.AP
