CNN, MS NOW and Politico file lawsuit against Trump's White House ban
Major US networks later suspended White House TV coverage of Trump as he heads to New York for the UN summit.
Trump announced the ban on Friday, accusing the organisations of writing "fiction or lies" about his administration
CNN, Politico and MS NOW have sued the Trump administration after the three US media outlets were barred from the White House.
President Donald Trump announced the ban on Friday, accusing the organisations of writing "fiction or lies" about his team. The companies said their reporters were denied access to the building on Saturday.
But on Monday morning, the five-seat CNN booth in the basement of the White House press area - typically manned throughout the day from the early hours of the morning - was empty and closed. Screens and monitors inside were turned off.
