Greenville New Bern Washington, NC, September 19, 2026 —
Journalists from MS NOW were denied access to the White House grounds on Saturday morning.
The denial of access occurred on Saturday, following a statement made by President Trump the previous day, Friday, indicating his intention to ban the network.
The specific details regarding the mechanism or authority behind the ban, the names of the journalists affected, or further actions taken by the White House or MS NOW were not immediately provided.
According to the information available, the decision to ban the network was communicated by President Trump. The subsequent denial of access to the White House grounds for MS NOW journalists followed this statement.
No further information was provided regarding the duration of the ban, the specific reasons cited by President Trump beyond the general intent to ban the network, or any official White House statement detailing the policy or its implementation on Saturday morning.
The exclusion of journalists from a news organization from a public event or location like the White House grounds can raise questions about access and reporting protocols.
As of Saturday morning, the access restriction for MS NOW personnel was in effect, based on President Trump’s prior statement.
