6 citizens sue Trump, saying media ban deprives them of news as audiences
The six plaintiffs are all people who say they rely on independent and diverse White House reporting for their teaching, journalism or advocacy A lawsuit has been filed by six citizens against President Donald Trump, claiming that his media ban deprives them of news as audiences. The lawsuit argues that such bans violate the public's right to independent reporting about the president and government. The plaintiffs, who all rely on White House news for their work, include a noted human rights advocate, a political journalist, a Yale history professor, a legal journalist, and a student journalist at the University of Pennsylvania. The suit names Trump as defendant, along with White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, and Secret Service Director Sean M. Curran. It also seeks an injunction barring defendants from enforcing the policy. Other news organizations, including CNN, MS NOW and Politico, are already in court fighting against the administration.
