CNN and Politico Report Being Denied White House Access Despite Court Order Temporarily Restoring It
A federal judge ordered the White House to temporarily restore press access for CNN, MS NOW and Politico, but the outlets reported being blocked from entering hours later.
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to temporarily restore White House press access for CNN, MS NOW and Politico, ruling that the outlets' ban from the building was likely unconstitutional.
The three outlets had been banned from the White House the previous week following a social media post from the president. The judge's order required their press passes to be immediately reinstated pending further proceedings.
Despite the ruling, CNN and Politico reported on Thursday morning that their journalists were still being blocked from entering the White House, raising questions about whether the order had been implemented.
The dispute over press access remains unresolved, with further legal proceedings expected as the outlets seek to secure their access to the White House grounds.
