Citizens sue Trump administration over White House press bans

Six private citizens have filed a federal lawsuit arguing the White House's media access restrictions violate their First Amendment rights.

• The plaintiffs, including scholars, journalists and advocates, filed the suit Monday in New York federal court, seeking a declaration that the bans are unconstitutional.
• The Knight First Amendment Institute and Yale Law School's Media and Information Access Clinic filed the case on the plaintiffs' behalf.
• A federal judge last month ordered the White House to restore credentials for CNN, Politico and MSNOW reporters after the administration barred them from news conferences.
• Trump said he is considering moving the White House press corps to a different location, citing a need for space.
