Kelly\u2019s ruling, grounded in precedent from a 1977 court decision, suggests the White House&#8217;s reasons for revoking passes-allegations of national security threats-were routine and may have been a pretext. Trump criticized the judge, claiming bias and promising to appeal, emphasizing his concern over fake news and it&#8217;s threat to democracy.The case echoes prior rulings in Kelly\u2019s favor, including the 2018 decision supporting CNN\u2019s Jim Acosta. the ruling indicates the White House must restore press access while highlighting ongoing tensions between the administration and certain media outlets.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s ban barring CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House was overturned in the overnight hours Thursday by a judge he appointed in his first term.<\/p>\n<p>The temporary restraining order by U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly came after the outlets filed an emergency suit on Monday.

Knight, the court ruled that the denial of the press pass to a Washington correspondent for the hard-left magazine The Nation had his constitutional rights violated when the White House denied his press pass based on a background investigation without giving him an opportunity to rebut.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration had argued the case, along with similar cases decided by the court, should be overturned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe \u2014 but this Court is bound by D.C.
