Attorney General Todd Blanche stated on Sunday that media outlets covering what the Trump administration views as "one-sided" news constitute a serious enough national security threat to warrant preventing the press from entering the White House and Air Force One.

That's what constitutes a national security issue, by the way. Our relationship with our international partners is impacted when the White House releases utterly false information. In an appearance with ABC's This Week, Blanche stated, "That impacts our relationship with our foreign enemies."

The government's attempt to defend President Donald Trump's attempt to impose such a ban against CNN, MSNOW, and Politico has been met with skepticism by a federal judge overseeing that case. The attorney general's definition of what constitutes a national security risk expands on this claim in a court filing.

Because the revocation was carried out without "constitutionally adequate due process," Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the Trump administration to temporarily reinstate the credentials of CNN, MSNOW, and Politico journalists impacted by the restriction. Additionally, he refuted the Justice Department's claim that it was based on national security, stating that the government's arguments "offer little to back up their asserted national security interest" and that the articles it mentioned were "routine."

Kelly ruled, "For starters, nothing in the record prior to this suit suggests that the revocation of Plaintiffs' hard passes was motivated by national security concerns." "That is undoubtedly not what President Trump stated when he declared that he was 'banning' Plaintiffs from the White House; rather, he concentrated on the purported dishonesty and negativity of Plaintiffs' reporting."

Reports from the publications that mentioned information from "senior White House officials" as a national security issue were highlighted by the government. According to Blanche, the administration was more concerned about the news being "one-sided."

"What I'm talking about is the government's position and what the Department of Justice said in court, which is the same thing that President Trump has said repeatedly, which is that at some point, the complete misinformation, inaccuracy, and one-sided news out of certain organizations does become a national security issue and it's not right for the people of the United States to have to put up with it," Blanche stated. He provided no information to back up his assertions of inaccuracy.

CNN's Kaitlan Collins pointed out in a conversation with US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz last week that one of the CNN reports he referenced regarding worries about a munitions shortage during the Iran War was based on a Pentagon Inspector General's study.

The White House prohibited CNN from flying aboard Air Force One on Saturday as part of the news organization's responsibilities covering the president on behalf of major television networks, even though it was permitted to return to the White House compound.

As part of the White House TV press pool, a small, rotating group of journalists that cover the president in places with limited space and share the information they gather with other TV networks, CNN was supposed to travel on the president's plane to Tennessee for a college football game. When the president traveled to Chicago on Sunday to attend the Presidents Cup golf competition, Fox News was permitted to do its regularly scheduled pool duties.

Similar to Blanche, Waltz stated that "media bias across the board" "needs to be fixed" during her interview on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.

"A bad agenda exists. There is a bad storyline, and anonymous sources will follow. Heck, I recently came across a piece in which a now-deceased senator was mentioned by unidentified sources. Yes, this has to be rectified. Additionally, President Trump expressed his frustration with the widespread bias in the media.
