Federal Judge Orders White House to Restore CNN, MS NOW and Politico Access

US District Judge Timothy Kelly — a 2017 Trump nominee — issued a temporary restraining order requiring the White House to restore press credentials for CNN, MS NOW and Politico for 14 days while their First Amendment lawsuit proceeds, finding the ban was "most likely unconstitutional" because the outlets were not given notice or a chance to be heard before losing access. Reporters were initially still turned away Thursday morning despite the order before gaining access that afternoon.
