US court blocks Trump's ban on three news outlets
A US federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's ban preventing CNN, MSNBC, and Politico journalists from entering the White House, citing potential violations of their constitutional rights. Judge Timothy Kelly of the District of Columbia District Court issued the temporary injunction, ordering the restoration of press credentials and access for these outlets for 14 days. The judge rejected the administration's national security justification, noting a lack of evidence that the outlets' reporting posed a threat. The White House had argued the media outlets spread false information, but the judge found their claims unsubstantiated. The outlets' lawyer called it a historic win for press freedom, and 49 major media organizations, including Fox News, supported the legal challenge.
