Rep. Kiley Responds to President Trump’s Media Access Bill 

Washington, D.C. – Representative Kevin Kiley, author of the PRESS Act, released the following statement following President Trump’s decision to deny reporters from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico access to the White House:

“Freedom of the press is not a partisan issue. It’s a constitutional issue, a First Amendment right, and a foundation of our democracy. The courts have made clear that government officials may not exclude members of the press simply because they don’t like their coverage. I’m urging all members of Congress in both parties to oppose this action and work toward its immediate reversal.”
