Federal Judge Blocks Trump's White House Press Ban

dn.se (Swedish) —

Federal judge Timothy J Kelly has blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to bar journalists from CNN, Politico, and MS Now from the White House, according to Reuters. The ruling follows a constitutional lawsuit filed by the news outlets on Monday. Trump announced Friday without warning that the outlets' accreditations were revoked, claiming on Truth Social the move targeted "fake news" spreading "like cancer" rather than press freedom. Judge Kelly noted early in proceedings that the White House had overlooked the outlets' right to due process. The decision reinforces constitutional protections for press access beyond free speech guarantees, marking a legal setback for the administration's media restrictions.
