Judge extends temporary block on Trump’s media ban
The judge kept CNN, MS NOW and Politico credentialed while weighing a preliminary injunction in a First Amendment fight over White House access.
- On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly extended a temporary order blocking President Donald Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, allowing the three outlets to retain White House press credentials while he considers longer-term protections.
- Kelly initially blocked the ban on Sept. 24, finding the outlets were likely to succeed on their Fifth Amendment due-process claim against the administration's restrictions.
- During Thursday's hearing, government attorneys defended the ban on national security grounds, yet Kelly expressed skepticism, noting the administration provided little evidence supporting that justification.
- Earlier this week, Politico was excluded from an Air Force One trip despite restored White House credentials, as other news organizations declined to take its place, underscoring ongoing press-access tensions.
- Kelly expects to rule on the preliminary injunction request by Tuesday, Oct. 13, a decision that will determine whether current protections remain while the broader First Amendment dispute continues.
