Judge Hears Challenge to Trump’s White House Ban on CNN, MS NOW, Politico
The outlets say the ban is viewpoint-based, while the administration argues it can decide who enters the White House.
- On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly began hearing arguments on whether President Donald Trump's ban of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House violates the First Amendment and due process rights.
- President Trump announced the ban last Friday, accusing the outlets of "cumulative" stories containing "fake news," prompting the Secret Service to revoke their access passes on Saturday.
- A brief filed by 49 media outlets, including The Associated Press, The New York Times, and Reuters, argued that "targeted expulsion of news media from White House grounds injures the public interest."
- Citing national security concerns and alleged "reporting incidents," The Justice Department argued in a late Tuesday filing that the president retains the legal right to bar the outlets from the White House.
- Judge Timothy Kelly, appointed by Trump in 2017, previously ordered White House access restored for a CNN journalist in 2018, setting precedent as historical records show President Theodore Roosevelt similarly managed press access through selective conferences.
