  "summary": "A US federal judge has temporarily blocked a ban imposed by President Trump that prevented journalists from CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from entering White House grounds. The ban, which was issued on September 18, has been reinstated for now, with the judge ordering the Trump administration to return the outlets' press passes immediately.\n\nThe judge, District Judge Tim Kelly, rejected the government's claim that the ban was necessary for national security reasons, stating that there was a lack of factual support for this contention. According to the judge, Trump said the ban was due to the outlets' alleged lack of truthfulness and negativity in their reporting.\n\nThe blocked ban is part of an ongoing dispute between Trump and media outlets whose coverage he dislikes. The three outlets had filed a lawsuit against Trump, challenging the ban and alleging that it violated their rights to free speech and free press under the US Constitution's First Amendment.",
