Journalists from CNN, Politico and MS NOW were allowed back into the White House on Thursday after being turned away earlier in the day, despite a federal judge ordering their access restored. The three outlets had filed an emergency request after their reporters were denied entry, saying the administration had 'repeatedly violated' the order.
US District Judge Timothy Kelly, whom Trump nominated in 2017, issued a 14-day temporary restraining order shortly after midnight, directing senior administration officials to immediately restore the journalists' hard-pass credentials.
