Judge skeptical of Trump's White House ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico
The judge said the outlets may not have received required notice before their access was revoked, and he delayed ruling on a temporary restraining order.
- On Wednesday, District Judge Timothy Kelly expressed skepticism that President Donald Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico complied with due process requirements, saying the outlets were denied advance notice before their credentials were revoked.
- President Trump banned the three outlets last week after accusing them of publishing 'fake news' and 'fiction and lies,' prompting the organizations to file suit Monday seeking a temporary restraining order to restore White House Complex access.
- Citing the Sherrill v. Knight precedent from 1977, Kelly questioned whether the administration provided the advance notice and opportunity to respond that due process requires. Justice Department attorney Michael Velchik countered that 'access to the White House is a privilege, not a right.'
- The ban remains in effect, affecting 78 journalists who lost White House Complex access, while ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox News suspended the daily television pool in solidarity with CNN's exclusion from presidential events.
- Judge Kelly deferred an immediate ruling but said he will decide 'as soon as I can,' while networks face missing coverage of Wednesday's visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington amid the ongoing ban.
