A US federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore White House access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico, saying the ban was likely unconstitutional.⁣ ⁣ US District Judge Tim Kelly ordered officials to immediately return the outlets’ press passes and blocked enforcement of the ban for 14 days while the case proceeds.⁣ ⁣ Trump announced the ban on September 18, accusing the three outlets of reporting “FICTION and LIES.” Justice Department lawyers had argued that the restrictions were justified in part on national security grounds.⁣ ⁣ Kelly rejected that argument, saying the government had not provided sufficient factual support for its national security claims.⁣ ⁣ The three outlets had sued the administration, arguing that the ban violated their First Amendment and due process rights.⁣ ⁣ #US #Trump #WhiteHouse #PressFreedom #CNN #Politico
