A federal judge in Washington, D.C., expressed skepticism on Wednesday regarding the Trump administration's recent decision to revoke the hard press badges of reporters from Politico, MS NOW, and CNN, effectively banning them from the White House complex.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, indicated during the proceedings that due process "wasn't followed here." The restrictions were imposed after U.S. President Donald Trump raised complaints concerning the outlets' news coverage.

The dispute centers on the administration's removal of press credentials for the targeted organizations, prompting legal scrutiny over the procedures used to restrict media access to the White House.
