  "account": "Federal Judge Timothy Kelly has ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to reinstate a ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico journalists accessing the White House grounds. The U.S. District judge granted the media outlets' motion for a preliminary injunction, stating that CNN, MS NOW and Politico \"are likely to succeed not only on their due process claim, but also on their two First Amendment claims.\" This decision extends their journalists' access to the White House. However, Judge Kelly emphasized that his ruling does not imply that President Trump's concerns about accuracy and fairness in the media's reporting are unfounded or that the government is powerless in protecting national security when classified information is unlawfully disclosed. CNN, MS NOW and Politico's attorney, Theodore J. Boutrous, Jr., expressed gratitude for the court's decision, stating that the ban on the free press violated due process and the First Amendment. The White House has not commented on the ruling. The controversy began on September 18 when Trump announced his ban on the three outlets for \"constantly\" writing negatively about his administration.",
