Media outlets banned by Trump denied access to White House state dinner despite court order

CNN and MS NOW said their reporters were denied access to cover arrivals for a White House state dinner, despite a judge's ruling that their press passes must be restored.

The networks said the denial of access occurred even after the court order was issued, raising questions about compliance with the ruling. Details of the judge's original order, including when it was issued and the specific grounds for the ruling, were not included in the available source material.

The dispute reflects an ongoing conflict between the Trump administration and certain media outlets over access to White House events and press credentials. It was not specified in the available reporting which other outlets, if any, were similarly affected, or what justification the White House gave for denying access despite the court's ruling.

Further steps that CNN, MS NOW, or the court might take in response to the reported denial of access were not detailed in the material reviewed.
