A US federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore White House access for journalists from CNN, MS Now and Politico.
The district judge ordered a temporary lifting of the ban, saying the restrictions imposed on the three outlets were likely unconstitutional.
The order marks another legal setback for the Trump administration in its disputes with news organizations over access to the White House.
It remains to be seen whether the administration will appeal the ruling or take other steps in response.
Further details on the scope of the restored access, or on the reasons the ban was originally imposed, were not specified in the report.
