CNN denied access to arrivals for White House state dinner
The judge said the outlets were likely denied due process and ordered the White House to restore access for at least 14 days.
- U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the Trump administration to restore White House access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico on Friday, ruling the ban was likely unconstitutional.
- President Donald Trump had barred these outlets before criticizing them for refusing to cover Chinese President Xi Jinping's White House arrival, alleging the networks sought to deny him credit.
- Journalist Peter Alexander, with 14 years of experience covering the White House, called the ban unprecedented; reporters faced delays accessing the campus despite the court order.
- Former deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews called the ban a 'completely unforced error,' linking it to a Steve Bannon strategy to 'flood the zone' as distraction.
- Critics argue the tactic deflects attention from 'pocketbook issues' like high gas prices and Fed interest rate hikes, which remain central concerns heading into midterm elections.
