A federal judge has temporarily reversed President Trump's decision to ban three major news outlets from the White House. CNN, MSNBC, and Politico were barred from entering the building last week by the president, who accused them of publishing "fake news" and threatening national security. The federal judge ruled that the ban likely violated the outlets' constitutional due process rights and granted them access for 14 days.
The administration had defended the ban in court, but the judge cast doubt on their claims, noting that the president did not mention national security concerns in his initial announcement. CNN and Politico reported mixed experiences with the outcome, with some reporters allowed back into the White House while others were denied entry.
The White House has not yet commented on the ruling, and the president's legal team may pursue further action.
