Judge Blocks Trump’s White House Ban On CNN, MS NOW And Politico
Late last week the Trump administration had banned three media outlets, CNN, MS NOW and Politico, from the White House premises, accusing them of pushing “fake news.”
A US federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore White House access to journalists from CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, ruling that the ban likely violated their constitutional rights. The judge, appointed by Trump, determined that the administration's decision was unconstitutional and that journalists from the three news organizations were entitled to due process.
The lawsuit was filed by CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, who argued that the ban was a form of retaliation for their constitutionally protected speech. The administration claimed that the restrictions were necessary for national security and accused the outlets of spreading "lies and fiction." Judge Timothy Kelly, who was appointed by Trump, emphasized that the administration violated the reporters' due process rights and ordered the restoration of access immediately. The outcome of the case will depend on how the administration responds to the judge's decision.
