Media outlets ask for new hearing to address continued White House ban on their journalists
- On Thursday, reporters from CNN, Politico, and MS NOW were denied entry to the White House despite District Judge Timothy Kelly's overnight order directing the administration to "immediately return, reinstate, and restore" their access.
- President Donald Trump first announced the ban last Friday, assailing what he called "fake news," and Kelly later ruled the revocation likely violated due process, granting a 14-day temporary restraining order.
- The Department of Justice argued the president possesses authority to control White House access as a privilege, yet Kelly noted defendants offered no proof that the outlets' reporting compromised national security.
- Attorneys for the news organizations filed for an emergency hearing Thursday, arguing "time is of the essence" because CNN was slated to be the television pool for Chinese leader Jingping's visit later that day.
- The network press pool suspended coverage of President Trump's events pending further notice, as this standoff continues a broader conflict between the administration and media outlets over editorial independence.
