Federal judge blocks Trump's expulsion of CNN, Politico, and MSNBC from White House

nrk.no (Swedish) —

A US federal judge has blocked President Trump's expulsion of CNN, Politico, and MSNBC from the White House, ruling the action unconstitutional. The decision reverses the administration's ban on the three outlets' access. Trump announced the ban last Friday, and journalists from the outlets were denied entry the following day. The White House cited alleged "fake news" reporting without providing specific examples, and Trump threatened to exclude more media. The three outlets filed a joint lawsuit this week to protect their First Amendment rights. Several major TV networks also said Monday they would skip joint coverage of Trump in protest.
