Federal judge orders Trump to restore White House press access for CNN, Politico, MS NOW

independent.co.uk —

A U.S. federal judge has ordered President Donald Trump to immediately restore White House press access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, blocking the administration's ban for 14 days. Judge Tim Kelly ruled the restriction was likely unconstitutional, rejecting the administration's national security justification and noting Trump cited alleged negativity and lack of truthfulness as reasons for the ban. The news organizations sued, alleging violations of First Amendment and due process rights, with support from press freedom groups and outlets including Reuters and Fox News.
