What happened

Donald Trump has suggested that more news outlets may be barred from the White House after he announced he was banning Politico, CNN and MS NOW. On Saturday, all three outlets said that the White House confiscated their teams' press passes; they have also hinted at legal action. The ban has come under sharp criticism from press freedom advocates, as Charlotte Hughes explains.
