CNN, Politico and MS NOW win court victory over Trump’s White House ban

  • U.S. District Judge Tim Kelly ordered President Donald Trump to immediately restore White House press access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico.
  • The judge blocked the Trump administration from enforcing the ban for 14 days, ruling the restriction was likely unconstitutional.
  • Judge Kelly rejected the administration's national security justification, noting that Trump said the ban was due to alleged negativity and a lack of truthfulness.
  • The news organizations filed a lawsuit alleging the revocation violated First Amendment protections and due process rights.
  • A coalition of press freedom groups and media outlets, including Reuters and Fox News, filed a legal brief supporting the lawsuit.
