Trump Bans CNN, MS NOW, Politico From White House; Judge Orders Access Restored

Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House on Sept. 18 over their coverage; the outlets sued Sept. 21 on First Amendment grounds and major networks halted pool video coverage in solidarity. On Sept. 24, US District Judge Timothy Kelly — a Trump first-term nominee — ordered the White House to temporarily restore the outlets' access, finding the ban 'most likely unconstitutional.'
