Judge Orders Trump Admin To Reverse ‘Fake News’ White House Ban

By Daily Caller. A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore press credentials to CNN, MS NOW, and Politico after the president “banned” them from the White House Friday.

The ruling comes after the three outlets joined forces to sue the administration to restore their press credentials. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly granted the outlets a temporary order to reinstate their access on Monday, but reports claim journalists are still being denied entry to the White House.

“The brief makes clear what the law has long established: the government cannot remove journalists from the White House because it dislikes their reporting,” White House Correspondents Association President Jacqui Heinrich said in a post on X.

“That is viewpoint discrimination, and a clear violation of the First Amendment.”

“It is called the Oval Office, and it should be treated with Decorum, Respect, and Dignity, not defiled by Third Rate Clowns, who purposefully distort, twist, and degrade with everything they write or publish,” President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post following the lawsuit. “Virtually every story about me, or anything having to do with me, is negative, wrong and, in many cases, DANGEROUS for our Country! No matter how GREAT my Achievements, they trivialize and demean.” (Read more from “Judge Orders Trump Admin To Reverse ‘Fake News’ White House Ban” HERE)

3 US news outlets return to White House after judge orders Trump to lift ban

By Miami News 7. Three news organizations banned from the White House for days were back Thursday, after a judge handed CNN, MS NOW and Politico a reprieve in an extraordinary showdown between President Donald Trump and outlets whose coverage he dislikes.

But media coverage of Trump’s White House was hardly normal. On a high-profile day when Chinese leader Xi Jinping was visiting Washington and planning to attend a state dinner, no major American network was airing live coverage.

After the White House banned CNN from a rotation of five major U.S. broadcast outlets who take turns shooting and sharing video, the other four — in a show of solidarity — were still declining to participate in the so-called video pool.

It was part of a chaotic day at the White House and in court. (Read more from “Judge Orders Trump Admin To Reverse ‘Fake News’ White House Ban” HERE)
