President Trump announced on Truth Social that he was banning CNN, Politico, and MSNow from the White House because he didn&#39;t like their coverage. Within days, a federal judge ordered the outlets be reinstated—but the White House dragged its feet. Hours later, reporters were still locked out and a state dinner with President Xi of China went ahead without them. <a href="https://knightcolumbia.org/bios/view/jameel-jaffer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jameel Jaffer of the Knight First Amendment Institute</a> joins Dahlia Lithwick to explain the First Amendment and due-process arguments at the heart of the case, why the administration&#39;s national security justification fell apart in court, and what it means when a president seems indifferent to judicial orders. Together, they trace the broader pattern of press intimidation, including this administration&#39;s recent bans on the Associated Press and on Pentagon reporters. And, they discuss something new: news organizations standing together in solidarity for the first time, and why Jaffer thinks we&#39;re already living in an authoritarian moment—whether we&#39;ve noticed or not.Want more Amicus?
