A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore White House access to journalists from CNN, MS Now, and Politico, ruling the ban was likely unconstitutional.

Kelly cited case law requiring advance notice and a hearing before suspending a journalist's White House pass. The administration had justified the ban on national security grounds.
