A federal judge issued a ruling late Tuesday preventing the Trump administration from barring journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from covering the White House, according to reporting from NPR and Fox News. The decision ensures that reporters from all three news organizations retain their press access while their lawsuit moves forward.
According to Fox News, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly found that the administration's restrictions likely infringed on First Amendment protections, noting the action was motivated by objections to the organizations' news coverage rather than security considerations. Fox News also reported that a White House representative confirmed plans to appeal the decision, maintaining that Oval Office press privileges should not be extended to outlets the administration accuses of biased reporting.
