Last month the television networks collectively suspended their shared pool footage of Donald Trump for several days after he barred CNN journalists from White House grounds. The Justice Department has now opened an inquiry into that coordinated action, which critics describe as a profound escalation of the administration's ongoing attacks on the press corps and press freedom more broadly.
Why now: The DOJ inquiry into the networks' collective response to Trump barring CNN raises fresh press freedom concerns.
