Court orders White House to restore media access for CNN, Politico, and MS NOW

A judge has ordered the Trump administration to immediately restore White House access for CNN, Politico, and MS NOW, issuing a 14-day temporary restraining order after ruling the ban likely violated their constitutional due process rights. The District of Columbia court rejected the administration's arguments that the outlets posed national security threats, stating the record lacked factual support for that claim. The judge also noted the White House failed to show adequate due process in implementing the ban. The three outlets had their press passes confiscated last week, prompting legal action. Major TV networks previously withdrew from White House pool duties in protest, and 49 media organizations filed a brief supporting the lawsuit. The White House has not commented on the ruling.
