USA: Locked-out journalists from CNN, MS Now and "Politico" are now allowed back into the White House
A federal judge had blocked the exclusion of the three media from the White House during the night. Nevertheless, their journalists were initially turned away on the morning.
Journalists from CNN and MS Now have regained access to the White House. This comes after a federal judge, US District Judge Tim Kelly, temporarily lifted a ban on their access, citing concerns that it likely violated the journalists' constitutional rights to due process. The ban, imposed by US President Donald Trump, had been justified by the US Department of Justice on national security grounds, but Kelly expressed doubts about these claims. Trump had stated that the ban was due to allegedly false or negative reporting.
