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

nrc.nl (Dutch) —

A federal judge ruled Thursday that CNN, Politico, and MSNOW must be immediately granted renewed access to the White House, stating President Trump's decision to ban them likely violated the Constitution. The judge determined the White House should have issued a warning and engaged in dialogue with the outlets before revoking their access. Trump had barred the media organizations because their coverage displeased him, accusing them of producing "fake news." The outlets had appealed the ban. In a show of solidarity, other news organizations like Fox News and CBS scaled back their coverage of the president by not filming everything.
