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

lematin.ch (French) —

A US federal judge has ordered the White House to immediately restore press access for CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, which were banned by Donald Trump, ruling the revocation likely violated their constitutional rights. Judge Timothy Kelly stated the removal of credentials without prior notice "probably violated" the media outlets' First Amendment rights, emphasizing that individuals must be notified and heard before being deprived of constitutionally protected interests. The order requires the executive branch to restore the correspondents' accreditation badges for two weeks. Trump had blocked the outlets last Friday, accusing them of spreading "false information," prompting the three organizations to sue.
