A United States Federal District Court has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily restore White House press access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico after a ban issued last week. Judge Timothy Kelly issued a 14-day temporary restraining order, ruling that the revocation of press passes likely violated the news organizations' constitutional due process rights. The three outlets sued after their reporters were stripped of credentials and barred from White House grounds. The court rejected the administration's claims that the outlets published false information and posed a national security risk, stating that no factual evidence was provided. Legal counsel for the news organizations described the decision as a vindication of press freedom and due process.
