The administration of US President Donald Trump is facing a legal challenge over its decision to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House.
The move, which has turned a dispute over media access into a broader court battle over press freedom and presidential authority, has drawn sharp criticism from press freedom advocates.
According to reports, the affected media organizations were denied access to cover activities at the White House, prompting them to seek legal redress.
Legal experts say the case could set a major precedent on the limits of presidential authority and the First Amendment rights of journalists in the United States.
The White House is yet to issue an official response to the lawsuit.
