Yes. On September 18, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were banned from the White House effective immediately. In a social media post, he accused the outlets of constantly reporting “fake news” and said other outlets could follow.
News organizations including Al Jazeera and The Associated Press covered the announcement as a fresh test of press access and First Amendment limits. Separately, CNN reported that as of its update the same day, there was no clear sign the administration had yet enforced the ban on the ground, and its reporters were still working from the White House workspace.
