Judge Orders Trump to Restore White House Access for CNN, MSNBC, and Politico
A US judge has ordered President Donald Trump to reinstate press credentials for CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, ruling that their exclusion likely violates the Constitution. The decision follows a lawsuit filed by the news organizations against the ban announced on September 18, which Trump justified by claiming the outlets spread fiction and lies. Although the Department of Justice attempted to defend the prohibition using national security arguments, the court sided with the media. This marks another instance where Trump’s attempts to deny journalists access to the White House have failed, a rare occurrence for any US president.
