President Donald Trump said Friday he will ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House.

He blamed their "fake news" and bad coverage.

He also said more media bans could come.

Trump did not explain how the ban would work.

Later, Trump spoke in the Oval Office.

He said the outlets are "fake news."

He said the country needs honest news.

CNN said it stands behind its White House team.

CNN said its reporting is fair and accurate.

CNN said the ban is an illegal attack.

CNN said it breaks a protected right.

Politico said it will keep reporting fairly.

Politico said it will defend its First Amendment rights.

MS NOW did not answer a request for comment right away.

Last year, Trump kept reporters out of the Oval Office.

He also kept them off Air Force One.

That was payback.

An outlet would not use his new name for the Gulf of Mexico.

Reporters sued.

That case is still going.

Trump has also taken legal action against The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the BBC.

Banning CNN could disrupt the TV pool.

Five networks travel with the president.

A 1977 court ruling said the White House cannot deny press access over coverage.

A federal judge ruled the government cannot punish reporters over editorial decisions.

But an appeals court paused most of that ruling.

The case is still pending.
