CNN, MS Now, Politico Regain Access to White House
A federal judge has ordered President Trump to restore White House access to CNN, MS NOW and Politico after the media outlets ban from the premises.
On Thursday, the White House lifted its ban on journalists from CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, following a federal judge's ruling. District Judge Tim Kelly declared the ban likely unconstitutional, stating that it lacked factual support for the claimed national security concerns. The judge emphasized that the White House press passes cannot be revoked without due process, and the banned outlets did not receive a proper chance to contest the ban.
CNN's attorney, Theodore Boutrous Jr., expressed appreciation for the court's swift action, citing the ruling as a significant victory for freedom of the press, due process, and the rule of law.
