Court restores CNN, MS NOW, Politico access to White House

CNN journalists were readmitted to the White House on Thursday, September 24, after a federal court ordered the Trump administration to temporarily restore media access. Judge Timothy Kelly ruled the administration's revocation of press credentials for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico lacked constitutionally mandated due process. CNN correspondent Betsy Klein was allowed entry after being blocked earlier that morning. The White House initially barred the outlets' journalists hours after the ruling, prompting calls for a new hearing. The dispute stems from Trump's September 18 accusations of "fake news" against the three outlets.
