Judge orders Trump administration to restore journalists' access to White House

A federal judge issued an order on Thursday directing the Trump administration to restore media access to the White House. The ruling requires the administration to allow coverage by CNN, MS NOW and Politico, which had previously been barred from attending White House events by President Trump.

The judge’s directive is temporary, mandating that the three outlets be granted access while the case proceeds. The decision follows the administration’s decision to prohibit the journalists from covering White House events, a move that prompted the court action.
