JUST IN: President Trump BOOTS Politico from Air Force One

LMAO!! President Trump just BLOCKED POLITICO from Air Force One for today’s trip to Nebraska, per CNN

Therefore, POLITICO cannot “fulfill its press corps pool responsibilities”

Trump’s every sentence and movement will be ALL OVER X ANYWAY.

That judge must be furious — because this does NOT even go against the judge’s order

The fake news might be allowed on White House grounds, but that’s it! No RIGHT to Air Force One or the Oval Office

A Politico spokesperson confirmed that the publication was excluded from the out-of-town travel pool, a small group of reporters who travel with the president on trips.

President Donald Trump announced on September 18 that he was “banning” Politico, CNN and MS NOW from the White House, a move that legal experts called unconstitutional.

The news outlets filed a lawsuit on September 21 alleging the ban violates the First and Fifth Amendments. Judge Timothy J. Kelly sided with the plaintiffs and issued a temporary restraining order requiring the Trump administration to reinstate the journalists’ press badges.

Since then, however, the White House has repeatedly barred CNN from traveling on Air Force One on days when it has been CNN’s turn to be the TV pool representative. Now, on the day it was Politico’s turn to be the print pool representative, Politico has been barred as well.

The Trump administration appears to be justifying these new restrictions by saying that access to the White House complex is different than access to tight spaces like Air Force One. The Associated Press has an ongoing lawsuit over this distinction, since Trump tried to ban the wire service from certain spaces last year.

Monday’s action against Politico will likely be incorporated into the next legal filing by CNN, MS NOW and Politico. Judge Kelly is scheduled to hold a hearing on Thursday over the news outlets’ request for a preliminary injunction, which would protect press access to the White House for a longer period of time ahead of a potential trial.

“The law is absolutely clear. The harm to our clients, the First Amendment, and the public as a whole is profound,” the attorney for the three news outlets, Ted Boutrous, said in a statement. “It is critical that the White House is enjoined to keep this unconstitutional ban on the free press out of commission.”
