Federal judge restores White House press access for CNN and MSNBC

g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

CNN and MS NOW said Thursday they regained White House access after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore their press credentials. The outlets had been barred since Friday. Judge Tim Kelly ruled Wednesday the 14-day restriction likely violates the Constitution, rejecting national security justifications. However, a Politico reporter was again blocked Thursday, and CNN and MS NOW reported their journalists still faced restrictions. Trump had banned the three outlets for allegedly spreading misinformation, with the White House calling access a privilege. The temporary ruling applies while the outlets' lawsuit proceeds.
