White House Says Banned Media Outlets Allowed to Return
Judge Tim Kelly said the ban likely violated due process rights and ordered the White House to restore the outlets' press passes for 14 days.
- On Thursday, District Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the White House to restore media access for CNN, MS Now, and Politico, ruling the administration's ban "likely violated their constitutional due process rights."
- President Donald Trump previously barred the outlets, claiming they report "FICTION and LIES" while posing a threat to United States national security; the news organizations sued, arguing the ban violated First Amendment protections.
- Judge Kelly issued a 14-day temporary restraining order, noting the record lacks factual support for the administration's national security claims and finding the plaintiffs likely to succeed in their lawsuit.
- Despite the order, journalists remained blocked Thursday morning, prompting an emergency hearing before the White House began reinstating badges at 7:25 a.m., according to Micah Stopperich, director of press operations.
- This legal battle follows other actions by Trump against major news organizations, while an Iowa judge recently dismissed the president's 2024 lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and pollster Ann Selzer.
