Six private citizens sue Trump administration over White House press access restrictions
A lawsuit filed Monday in a federal court in New York on behalf of six private citizens argues that White House bans on certain news outlets violate the public's right to independent reporting about the president and government. The plaintiffs include a human rights advocate, a media watchdog, a university history professor, a high school teacher, a legal journalist and a student journalist. The complaint names Trump alongside White House communications director Steven Cheung and chief of staff Susie Wiles.
