In a court filing submitted late Tuesday, the Department of Justice argued that President Donald Trump may bar CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House. It characterized media access as a “privilege” and pointed to national security concerns.
The US Justice Department asked a federal judge to reject CNN, MS Now and Politico’s request to restore White House press credentials for their journalists. President Donald Trump had barred the outlets after deeming their coverage of his administration negative.
US news organisations are normally fierce rivals, but Donald Trump’s ban on CNN, Politico and MS NOW has triggered an unusual display of solidarity among journalists. The decision is reshaping White House coverage as Trump arrives in New York for the UN General Assembly.
The US Justice Department has accused CNN, Politico and MS NOW of spreading “verifiable falsehoods” and publishing reports that threatened national security as it defends their White House ban.

As AI industry leaders urge a global slowdown to protect humanity, the United States and China show no intention of slowing development. Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are expected to reach only limited cooperation on AI safety at their Washington summit, with mistrust and differing views of the main risks obstructing broader coordination.
Xi Jinping and Donald Trump are due to meet this week to tackle thorny issues ranging from trade to Taiwan. Both sides agree on one point: neither can afford to slow down in the race for AI leadership.
Persistent growth in Chinese exports to the United States is helping the world’s second-largest economy withstand ongoing domestic challenges, shifting the dynamics ahead of the Trump-Xi meeting.
President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are set to meet at the White House during a high-stakes state visit, with Iran, Taiwan and trade among the thorny issues they will have to navigate.
