President Donald Trump has publicly vowed to appeal a judge’s ruling regarding a media access lawsuit, even though a federal judge has yet to issue any such ruling in the case, Deadline reports. This situation stems from a lawsuit filed on Monday by CNN, Politico, and MS NOW against the administration following a ban on their access to the White House. The legal challenge, which aims to restore credentials for correspondents, was assigned to U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly.
Judge Kelly set a hearing for Wednesday to discuss the motion for a temporary restraining order. While Judge Kelly was appointed by President Trump during his first term, he previously ruled in favor of CNN and Jim Acosta when the administration revoked credentials in a prior instance.
