Federal Judge Orders White House to Restore Press Access for CNN, MS Now, and Politico
Source Summary
District Court Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the White House to continue allowing journalists from CNN, MS Now, and Politico to access the building while their lawsuit against the Trump administration proceeds. The three outlets were banned from White House grounds in September, which Kelly had previously granted a 14-day reprieve for in late September.
Why it matters
The ruling preserves press access to the White House during active litigation over the administration's authority to exclude news organizations from the building.
What remains uncertain
The outcome of the media coalition's ongoing lawsuit against the Trump administration remains unresolved.
