Federal judge orders White House to restore press access for CNN, MSNBC, and Politico

A federal judge has ordered the White House to restore press access to CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, ruling the Trump administration's ban violated due process. The decision is a win for the three outlets. The ban was imposed last week over alleged violations of "professionalism and decorum," with the outlets arguing it breached their First Amendment rights. District Judge Tim Kelly rejected a Justice Department request to delay the restoration, and the ruling comes during Xi Jinping's U.S. visit. The judge's order follows broader tensions, including U.S.-China trade truce extensions and bond market volatility. The White House has not yet indicated whether it will appeal the ruling.
