US federal judge orders restoration of White House access for CNN, MS NOW, Politico
The ruling marks a major setback for President Trump in one of his biggest battles with the media.
A US federal judge on Thursday ordered the reinstatement of White House access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico.
The ruling represents a major setback for President Donald Trump in one of his most significant confrontations with the media since returning to office.
The three news organizations had seen their access to the White House restricted, a move that had drawn criticism from press freedom advocates.
The judge's order requires the White House to restore access for reporters from the affected outlets, though further details on the timeline for compliance were not specified.
The White House has not yet issued a public response to the ruling.
