Judge: Trump's White House Press Ban May Violate Legal Precedent

dn.se (Swedish) —

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said Wednesday that President Trump's decision to bar CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House appears to conflict with prior federal appellate rulings, according to Reuters. Kelly noted two precedents from the D.C. Circuit Court establishing that journalists are entitled to proper legal review before their White House press credentials can be revoked. The three outlets filed a lawsuit against Trump on Monday, calling the ban "a direct attack on the Constitution." Trump announced the media exclusion in a Truth Social post on Friday, accusing the outlets of spreading "fake news."
