Judge Rules Trump's Press Ban on CNN, Politico and MS Now Likely Unconstitutional
A federal judge has temporarily restored White House access for journalists from the three outlets, ruling that the Trump administration's ban likely violates the Constitution.
A federal judge has temporarily restored White House access to journalists from CNN, Politico and MS Now after ruling that President Donald Trump's ban on the outlets is likely unconstitutional.
Trump had banned reporters from the three news organizations from the White House, citing their coverage of his administration. The judge's ruling grants the journalists temporary access while the underlying legal challenge to the ban proceeds.
The order comes as Trump plans to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington for talks expected to address the two countries' competing economies, trade, artificial intelligence and Taiwan.
The White House press access dispute unfolds against a backdrop of other high-profile diplomatic activity in Washington and New York this week, including a planned address to the United Nations General Assembly by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
It was not immediately clear when a final ruling on the constitutionality of the press ban would be issued, or whether the Trump administration would appeal the temporary restoration of access.
