CNN, MS NOW, dan Politico mengajukan gugatan pada hari Senin terhadap pemerintahan Trump, dengan alasan bahwa melarang reporter mereka masuk ke Gedung Putih melanggar Amandemen Pertama dan perlindungan proses hukum yang layak. Ketiga media tersebut mengatakan jurnalis mereka memiliki kartu pers permanen namun ditolak masuk ke kompleks Gedung Putih sejak akhir pekan. Gugatan tersebut menggambarkan larangan itu sebagai serangan langsung terhadap kebebasan pers dan penyimpangan dari prinsip-prinsip konstitusional inti.
Presiden Trump mengatakan keputusan itu diambil setelah akumulasi pemberitaan yang dianggapnya tidak adil selama dua tahun terakhir, bukan karena satu laporan tertentu. Sidang pengadilan federal atas permohonan perintah pembatasan sementara yang akan memulihkan akses media tersebut dijadwalkan pada hari Rabu. Kasus ini telah memunculkan perbandingan dengan sengketa serupa pada 2018, ketika pengadilan memerintahkan Gedung Putih untuk memulihkan kartu pers seorang koresponden CNN.
Sebagai bentuk solidaritas, jaringan televisi lain menolak memberikan liputan bersama Gedung Putih pada hari Senin setelah CNN, yang seharusnya memimpin rotasi tersebut, dikeluarkan. Sengketa ini kembali memicu perdebatan tentang akses pers ke Gedung Putih dan sejauh mana wewenang cabang eksekutif dalam menentukan media mana yang boleh meliput dari dalam gedung.
