Why are major news outlets suing President Trump over White House press bans?
Live from MPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. Three major news outlets are suing President Trump after their journalists were barred from covering the White House. MPR Scott Horsley reports a court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
CNN, MS Now, and Politico all joined a lawsuit against the president, saying Trump violated the Constitution when he ordered their journalists blocked from the White House and took away their press credentials. Trump told other reporters on Friday he was tired of the news outlets unflattering coverage. The showdown is the latest installment in the president's long running campaign to discredit the news media, along with any other institution that might challenge his version of events. Other major T V networks led by Fox News stood in solidarity with their ousted colleagues and refused to provide video coverage of the day's White House events, including a ribbon cutting of the new hilipad.

Even though some absentee ballots have already been mailed using the same districts as in twenty twenty four, an appeals court ruled that the map passed by Republicans last year should be used.
