Federal judge blocks Trump administration's White House access ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico
A Trump-nominated judge ruled that the news outlets are likely to succeed in their claim that they were denied due process when barred from White House access, Al Jazeera reports.
A US federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a ban on White House access for CNN, MS NOW and Politico, according to Al Jazeera.
The judge, who was nominated by President Trump, ruled that the outlets are likely to succeed in their claim that they were denied due process when the access restrictions were imposed, Al Jazeera reported.
The report did not detail the specific reasoning behind the White House's original decision to restrict access for the three outlets, nor did it specify the scope or duration of the court's order.
The ruling is the latest development in a series of disputes between the Trump administration and news organizations over press access to the White House.
