Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian cover the Trump administration's decision to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House complex over what Trump called their "constant reporting FAKE NEWS," and the outlets' subsequent lawsuit alleging the move is patently unconstitutional. Brian and Shant fact-check the actual record: the handful of walked-back errors from these three outlets versus a single Trump UN speech containing verifiably false claims, including his assertion of $21 trillion in new foreign investment when his own administration's website lists $11.2 trillion, most of it vague pledges predating his presidency, and his claim that boat strikes cut drug trafficking by 97%, which PolitiFact rated flatly false. Brian details the legal precedent working against the administration, a 1977 D.C. Circuit ruling arising from the Nixon-era revocation of journalist Robert Sherrill's press pass, which held the White House cannot strip credentials without due process absent an actual national security concern. Shant notes the administration's justification has already shifted twice, from "fake news" to a vague national security rationale within days, a pattern Brian and Shant have tracked across the ballroom, the arch, and now press access. Brian's bottom line: legal experts across the political spectrum, including precedent from the similarly bounced Associated Press's ongoing case, suggest this ban is likely to fail exactly the way the AP's challenge is playing out now.
