Judge extends block on Trump ban of CNN, MS NOW, Politico at White House
A federal judge extended an order lifting the White House ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico, and the three outlets keep access until a final ruling.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly extended a temporary block on the White House ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico on Thursday, according to CBS News. PBS NewsHour reports the outlets keep their White House access until a final ruling on President Trump's press ban.
The White House put the ban in place last month. Trump has said the outlets should not be allowed to cover him. He has called their reporting "fake news" and said it endangers national security, The Hill reports.
The Hill described the extension as brief and said Kelly, a Trump appointee, is still weighing the case. PBS describes the extension as lasting until the final ruling. The reports do not say when that ruling will come.
