White House officials are defending U.S. President Donald Trump‘s ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico, claiming that it does not violate the First Amendment.

A Tuesday court filing obtained by The New York Times alleges that the news outlets had breached standards of conduct, accusing them of “trafficking in verifiable falsehoods about national security and other issues, and publishing sensitive or classified information.”
