Trump Bans Crooked Media

Trump's press ban faces near-certain legal defeat while Republicans' 2025 midterm cash edge and Iran-war spillover pose bigger practical risks.

  • Press access revoked: Trump banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House Friday; all three sued Monday, and ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox refused to fill CNN's pool slot in solidarity.
  • Legal precedent unfavorable to Trump: Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee who ruled for Jim Acosta in 2018 under Sherrill v. Mumford, is hearing the case; hosts see it as likely to go against the administration.
