Judge orders restoration of White House access for three news organisations
US District Judge Tim Kelly has ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to restore White House access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico. The ruling followed a lawsuit challenging a ban announced by Trump on September 18, with the judge finding that the restrictions were likely unconstitutional.
A federal judge has ordered the White House to restore access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico, in a ruling that challenges a restriction imposed by President Donald Trump. US District Judge Tim Kelly issued the order on Thursday. He said the ban affecting the three media organisations was likely unconstitutional.
The decision followed a lawsuit filed by CNN, MS NOW and Politico. The organisations brought the case to contest the restriction announced by Trump on September 18. The ruling represents a setback for Trump in his dispute with the media, according to the supplied report.
The source material does not provide further details about the judge’s reasoning, the precise terms of the order, or the administration’s response. Trump had addressed the matter on social media, but the available material does not include the substance of those comments. It also does not specify when the restored access must take effect or whether the administration plans to challenge the ruling.
