White House media ban: Judge extends order blocking Trump from banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico reporters

A federal judge has extended an order preventing the Trump administration from banning journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from accessing the White House. The ruling, issued by District Judge Timothy Kelly, mandates that the administration must grant these reporters access while the underlying lawsuit proceeds. This decision follows an initial move by the administration last month to restrict the journalists' access to the premises.

The court's extension of the order ensures that the affected news outlets maintain their ability to cover the White House while the legal challenge remains active. The development marks a continuation of the judicial oversight regarding the administration's authority to limit press access to the executive branch.
