Federal Judge Orders Trump to Restore White House Access to CNN, MS NOW, and Politico
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled that President Donald Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House was unconstitutional, ordering immediate restoration of access. Despite the court order, journalists from these outlets remained blocked from the White House complex. The decision followed a legal battle over Trump's decision to expel the media outlets, with the judge questioning the process used to justify the ban.
