Judge Temporarily Extends White House Access Amid Media Ban Lawsuit
A federal judge has temporarily extended access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico journalists to White House grounds while considering a longer injunction against President Trump's ban. The media outlets argue the ban violates their First and Fifth Amendment rights, citing insufficient advance notice. The Trump administration defends the ban, citing national security concerns and accusing the outlets of publishing confidential information. The judge is expected to rule by October 13, with the ban unenforceable until then.
