What to know

  • Trump banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House access; in response, major TV networks withdrew from press pool coverage duties.
  • A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order ruling the ban likely violated constitutional due process rights, but the outlets report being denied entry anyway.
  • Without the professional press pool, Trump has been unable to be heard at recent White House events, drowned out by static and technical failures.

“the Court is skeptical—at least on this record—that Defendants' interest in safeguarding national security is the actual motivation for, or is even advanced by, the revocation of Plaintiffs' hard passes”
