White House allows blocked reporters in after judge lifts Trump ban
- On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the White House to immediately restore press access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico for 14 days, ruling the ban likely violated Fifth Amendment due process rights.
- President Donald Trump banned the outlets last Friday, assailing what he called "fake news" and "cumulative stories," though administration lawyers later argued the restrictions protected national security.
- Despite the court order, reporters from the three organizations were denied entry Thursday morning, prompting their attorneys to file an emergency request for a videoconference meeting with the judge.
- By noon on Thursday, representatives from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were granted access to the White House grounds, resolving the immediate standoff after the judge's intervention.
- Judge Kelly scheduled additional hearings over the next two weeks to evaluate evidence from both sides, with the temporary restraining order generally unappealable during this period.
