Trump's team provided contradictory justifications for the action. Trump stated it plainly as a ban on the press. Vice President Vance denied it was a ban and blamed biased coverage, citing that 92% of stories about the administration are negative. The White House official statement said Trump was banning outlets "friendly to the Radical Left," while the Justice Department argued in court filings that the outlets posed a national security threat.
“He's not banning media outlets. … About 92% of the stories that they have on the president of the United States, on the administration, are negative.”
