US judge delays ruling on White House ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico

A U.S. judge has delayed ruling on a legal challenge over the White House's decision to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from certain access, according to Al Jazeera. The judge heard arguments from both sides on Wednesday but did not rule on the case.

The case centers on the Trump administration's move to restrict access for the three news outlets, a decision that has been challenged in court. Wednesday's hearing gave both the administration and the news organizations an opportunity to present their arguments before the judge.

No timeline has been given for when a ruling might be issued. The outcome of the case could have implications for how the administration manages press access more broadly.

Neither the White House nor the news outlets involved have issued additional public statements following Wednesday's hearing, according to the available reporting.
