CNN denied access to arrivals for White House state dinner
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said the outlets likely were denied due process and ordered the White House to restore their press passes immediately.
- Despite District Judge Timothy Kelly ordering The White House to restore access, the administration denied CNN and NOW credentials to cover Chinese President Jinping's arrival Thursday evening for the state dinner.
- District Judge Timothy Kelly handed CNN, NOW, and Politico a victory, ordering The White House to "immediately return, reinstate, and restore" the Three outlets' access after finding credentials were revoked without due process.
- Initially, the Secret Service denied entry to the Three organizations Thursday morning, and The White House restricted CNN to a photojournalist and audio technician, excluding its editorial team, while Other networks received full coverage permission.
- American networks refused to air footage of President Donald Trump without assurances that CNN would be included, while Trump posted that networks "refused to cover one of the Biggest and Most Beautiful Events to take place in many years."
- The temporary restraining order expires in two weeks, and District Judge Timothy Kelly set an Oct. 5 deadline for both sides to file arguments on a preliminary injunction, noting he "intends to rule expeditiously" on the request.
