Federal judge orders Trump to restore press credentials for CNN, MSNBC, Politico

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily restore White House press credentials for journalists from CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, suspending their ban for 14 days. Judge Timothy Kelly ruled the exclusion likely violates the First Amendment and that proper procedures were not followed, rejecting the administration's national security justification. The White House has not yet commented on the ruling. President Trump revoked the journalists' credentials without notice on Saturday, claiming the outlets spread "fake news." Judge Kelly, a Trump appointee, previously handled a 2018 case involving a CNN reporter's temporary credential suspension.
