Federal judge extends order letting CNN, MS NOW and Politico keep White House access during lawsuit
Photo: The New York TimesHow the sides differ Left sources stress a press victory and unresolved access issues; alternative sources stress constitutional grounds; right sources note the judge's caveat about Trump's media concerns and national security.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ruled that the Trump administration cannot, for now, ban reporters from CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House while their lawsuit proceeds. Coverage describes the ruling as extending an earlier order, with the judge finding the ban likely violates free speech and due process rights. Left-leaning outlets frame it as a win for the press, though one notes it does not resolve all access problems. The right-leaning report adds that the judge said the ruling does not dismiss Trump's concerns about accuracy and fairness, and that the government can still protect national security.
