Politico, CNN and MS Now say they are filing a lawsuit today over President Trump's move to ban the outlets from the White House.
The news networks say that "left unchallenged, this threatens press freedom and the public's right to independent journalism free from government interference."
Trump calls their coverage "fake news."
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise says he doesn't know why the president banned the outlets.
