What to know

  • Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico was temporarily blocked by a federal judge after the outlets sued, restoring their White House access.
  • The judge's ruling came while Chinese President Xi Jinping was visiting Washington, creating an awkward diplomatic moment that Trump had wanted to avoid.
  • Late-night hosts are treating the press ban reversal as a symbolic defeat for Trump, mocking both the situation and his conduct toward the Chinese president.

“The worst part is: This happened with the Chinese president in town. They embarrassed him in front of another authoritarian leader, which is just inconsiderate, if you ask me.”
