Judge Restores CNN, MS NOW, Politico Access to White House

A federal judge has ordered U.S. President Donald Trump to restore White House access for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, stating the ban was likely unconstitutional. The ruling, made by District Judge Tim Kelly, comes after the ban was announced on September 18, 2026, and will remain in effect for 14 days. Judge Kelly emphasized that the government failed to prove national security would be compromised by restoring press credentials. This ruling is significant as it supports freedom of the press and could influence media relations with the White House.
