US judge blocks Trump’s White House ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico

A US judge has temporarily blocked Donald Trump’s ban on three news outlets—CNN, MS NOW, and Politico—ordering their immediate reinstatement at the White House pending a court hearing. Judge Timothy J Kelly found that the outlets had a strong case, citing violations of their due process rights, and emphasized the importance of free press. He dismissed the government’s claim that the ban was for national security reasons, stating there was no factual support for this argument. The injunction is in effect for 14 days.
