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

A US federal judge ordered the Trump administration to immediately restore White House press access for CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, ruling their credential revocations lacked constitutionally adequate due process. Judge Timothy Kelly determined the administration failed to notify journalists of appeal options until days after the ban, announced Friday via social media over alleged "fake news." The three outlets sued, arguing the ban violated due process and prior rulings. Despite the ruling, Politico and MSNBC reporters were blocked from entering the White House, and CNN staff also faced access issues early Thursday.
