  "account": "A federal judge has temporarily halted President Donald Trump's attempt to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW reporters from accessing the White House. US District Judge Timothy Kelly issued a 14-day restraining order, ordering the White House to restore the outlets' press credentials while the legal dispute continues. The news organizations claim that Trump's ban on their access violated their First Amendment rights and due process protections. In response to the ban, CNN, Politico, and MS NOW filed lawsuits, arguing that the revocation of their hard passes would not protect national security.",
