Judge orders White House to restore media access temporarily for blocked outlets
A federal judge, Timothy Kelly, ordered President Donald Trump to temporarily restore access to the White House press credentials for CNN, Politico, and MS Now, citing that Trump’s decision to revoke their credentials was unconstitutional. The judge’s 14-day restraining order mandated that the White House immediately reinstate these journalists’ access. Trump had previously announced the revocation, criticizing the outlets for their coverage and claiming access is a privilege. The outlets filed a lawsuit challenging this move based on First Amendment rights. Additionally, there are subscription prompts for Washington Examiner, emphasizing the importance of loyal, unrestricted access to news, analysis, and commentary, with options to subscribe or log in for existing members.
A federal judge ordered President Donald Trump to restore White House access temporarily for CNN, Politico, and MS Now.
Judge Timothy Kelly of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., who was appointed by Trump, called the ban unconstitutional and ordered the White House to “immediately return, reinstate, and restore” the journalists’ press credentials. The 14-day restraining order came down early Thursday morning.
Trump announced he was revoking White House press passes for the three outlets on Friday evening, saying he disagreed with their coverage and that access is a privilege. The outlets filed a suit challenging the move on First Amendment grounds.
