Trump says he will probably comply with court ruling on media ban

President Trump said he would "probably" abide by a court ruling if a judge rules against his ban on CNN, MS Now, and Politico from White House grounds. The ban was imposed over what Trump called "fake news" and negative coverage, and the outlets have filed a lawsuit alleging violations of due process and the First Amendment. Trump framed the ban as a national security matter during a bilateral meeting at the UN General Assembly with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
