The Trump administration must allow CNN, MS NOW, and Politico to access the White House while their lawsuit over the president’s press ban plays out, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. US District Judge Tim Kelly said that President Donald Trump’s press ban likely violated the First Amendment, expanding upon his previous legal rationale for ordering that the three outlets be allowed access to the White House.
