  "summary": "A US federal judge has ordered the White House to immediately restore press access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, after the outlets were barred by President Donald Trump on September 18. According to CNBC World, District Judge Tim Kelly ruled that the three outlets should have their access restored immediately.\n\nThe ban was challenged by the outlets, who argued that it was unconstitutional. The BBC News reported that Judge Kelly issued a temporary restraining order against the ban, allowing the outlets to have their access restored for 14 days. The judge rejected the Trump administration's argument that the ban was motivated by national security concerns, citing a lack of factual support.\n\nThe ruling was a setback for Trump in one of his biggest battles with the media. Channel News Asia reported that Judge Kelly ordered the Trump administration to immediately return the outlets' press passes and blocked officials from enforcing the ban for 14 days. The judge noted that Trump himself had stated the ban was due to an \"alleged lack of truthfulness and negativity\" of the outlets' reporting.",
