Three news outlets have beefed up their legal complaint against the White House over access, saying it is continuing to defy a judge's orders by refusing to let them return to covering President Donald Trump in the Oval Office and on Air Force One - thus violating their free speech rights by continuing to keep them out of the rotating press "pool." CNN, MS NOW and Politico said Wednesday that the president is retaliating against them for reports he does not like, which violates U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly's previous orders for the administration to allow reporters for the outlets to fully return to the pool of journalists covering the president.

Even after those orders, the White House was continuing to block reporters for those outlets from covering Trump in "the very locations that the president most frequently engages with the press," Theodore J. Boutrous Jr., the outlets' attorney, said in a statement.

The most recent filing asks the court to make those previous orders permanent.
