Judge Lifts Trump's Ban on CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, Restoring White House Access
- On Thursday, US District Judge Tim Kelly ordered the White House to restore access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, ruling the administration's September 18 ban was likely unconstitutional.
- President Donald Trump barred the three outlets on September 18, claiming they "shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES," while Justice Department lawyers argued the move was necessary on national security grounds.
- In solidarity with CNN, broadcasters including ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC halted pool coverage on Monday, joining nearly 50 news organizations that filed a brief challenging the exclusions.
- Kelly, a Trump appointee, previously ordered the White House to temporarily restore access for a CNN reporter during the president's first term, establishing judicial limits on executive power regarding press access.
- The administration launched a streaming channel on Monday, aiming to bypass mainstream media; this reflects the president's long-standing characterization of press outlets as the "enemy of the people.
