Federal Judge Lifts Trump's White House Ban on CNN

A federal judge ordered US President Donald Trump on Thursday to restore White House access for ?journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico, saying his ban on the three media outlets was likely unconstitutional. 

In a major setback for Trump in one of his biggest battles with the media, US District Judge Tim Kelly issued his order in a lawsuit that



the news organizations filed contesting the ban that the Republican president announced on September 18.

Kelly ordered the Trump administration to ?immediately return the outlets' press passes and blocked officials from enforcing the ban for 14 days. The judge rejected the government's assertion that the ?ban was motivated by national security concerns.
