CNN denied access to arrivals for White House state dinner
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said the outlets likely were denied due process and ordered their White House press access restored immediately.
- On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the White House to "immediately return, reinstate, and restore" access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit, provisionally lifting the administration's ban on the three outlets.
- Secret Service agents confiscated press credentials from the three organizations Thursday morning, initially denying them entry. The administration's actions prompted the legal challenge, with the court finding the outlets met thresholds for a temporary restraining order.
- Major networks refused to air footage of President Donald Trump without assurances that CNN would be included in the video pool. On Wednesday, 50 groups including the AP filed amicus briefs urging the court to restore access.
- Reporters regained access by early afternoon, though the process took over two hours due to badge reactivation. White House officials had initially restricted coverage to non-editorial staff despite the court's earlier ruling.
- Judge Kelly, who previously restored access for a reporter in 2018, set an Oct. 5 deadline for arguments on a preliminary injunction. He emphasized the government must establish clear conduct standards for revoking press passes.
