  "account": "A POLITICO reporter was denied entry to the White House on Thursday and had his press credentials confiscated, following a judge's order to restore access for news organizations that President Donald Trump had previously banned from the complex. The incident occurred hours after a judge mandated the administration to immediately restore access to the news organizations, including POLITICO, CNN, and MSNBC, for a period of two weeks. The reporter was turned away by a Secret Service agent, who stated that he was not cleared to enter the premises. However, the agent suggested that the reporter might be granted a temporary day pass, which would allow him limited access to the White House press facilities. A White House spokesperson declined to comment on the matter. This event highlights the ongoing tensions between the administration and media organizations over access to the White House.",
  "summary": "The Secret Service confiscated a POLITICO reporter's press pass Thursday morning despite a federal judge's decision hours earlier that a media ban appeared to violate the constitutional due process rights of three outlets whose White House access has been revoked.",
