President Donald Trump's bid to bar CNN, MS NOW, and Politico journalists from the White House has suffered a legal setback from an unlikely source: a federal judge he appointed. US District Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the administration to restore the reporters' press credentials for 14 days, finding they were likely revoked without constitutionally adequate due process.
Kelly's order came days after Trump imposed the restrictions over what he described as false and negative coverage of his administration. The judge also questioned the administration's national-security justification, saying the government had offered little evidence to support the need for the ban.
