White House says it will appeal ruling restoring CNN, MS NOW, Politico access
The White House says it will appeal U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly's injunction, which keeps CNN, MS NOW and Politico reporters in the White House while their lawsuit proceeds.
The White House will appeal a federal judge's order that blocks it from banning reporters from CNN, MS NOW and Politico, according to CNBC and Fox News. Fox News says the White House confirmed the appeal.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly issued the preliminary injunction late Tuesday. It lets the three outlets keep access to the White House complex while their lawsuit goes forward. PBS NewsHour reports he ordered full access for the outlets.
Kelly found that revoking the outlets' hard passes likely violated their First and Fifth Amendment rights, according to CBS News. Fox News reports the First Amendment finding. Deutsche Welle reports the judge said the outlets have reasonable grounds to expect to win.
The order replaces a temporary one. The Guardian reports Kelly granted a 14-day reprieve on 24 September, six days after Trump banned the three outlets. The Guardian quotes the president's stated reason: their "constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS."
NPR describes the ruling as saying a president cannot bar news organizations from covering him because he dislikes their coverage, at least until a formal trial. NBC News says the injunction holds until the case is decided. The New York Times says the ruling secures access to the White House grounds but does not resolve all of the outlets' access problems.
