WashingtonTrump TV drew 8,000 viewers at launch.

It replaces barred outlets with a state-run channel, tying press access to loyalty.

CNN, MS NOW and Politico were barred from White House grounds, so ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC boycotted the shared press pool.

The three outlets sued in federal court Monday, arguing the ban violates their First Amendment rights.

A federal judge in Washington will decide whether to restore the outlets’ access.
