https://www.reuters.com/world/judge-lifts-trumps-white-house-ban-cnn-ms-now-politico-2026-09-24/Sept 24 (Reuters) - A federal judge ordered US President Donald Trump on Thursday to restore White House access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico, saying his ban on the three media outlets was likely unconstitutional.In a major setback for Trump in one of his biggest battles with the media, US District Judge Tim Kelly issued his order in a lawsuit that the news organizations filed contesting the ban that the Republican president announced on September 18.Kelly ordered the Trump administration to immediately return the outlets’ press passes and blocked officials from enforcing the ban for 14 days. The judge rejected the government’s assertion that the ban was motivated by national security concerns.“The record lacks factual support for defendants’ contention that the revocation of plaintiffs’ hard passes will in fact protect national security or that national security will be endangered if the court orders their passes reinstated while this litigation proceeds,” he said, adding that Trump himself had stated the ban was due to “alleged lack of truthfulness and negativity” of the outlets’ reporting.The White House and representatives for the outlets did not immeidately respond to requests for comment.Trump had said on social media that the three outlets “shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES,” and Justice Department lawyers had sought to justify the ban on national security grounds.The three outlets sued Trump and other members of his administration in federal court in Washington on Monday, saying the ban violated the US Constitution’s First Amendment protections for free speech and a free press, as well as their due process rights. They requested a temporary restraining order that would immediately reinstate their White House access while their legal challenge plays out.
The legal battle has unfolded just weeks before the November 3 midterm elections in which Trump’s fellow Republicans are fighting to retain control of Congress. Trump’s job approval ratings are at record lows in opinion polls amid concerns over issues such as the Iran war and inflation.Kelly said at a Wednesday hearing that two precedents from the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit made clear that journalists are entitled to due process before their White House press passes can be revoked. The judge added that it did not appear that the White House had given the targeted news outlets a meaningful opportunity to contest the revocation of their access.A lawyer for the news outlets told Kelly that they were banned without legally required advance notice or opportunity to contest the decisions, which he said were unprecedented, unreasonable and severe punishments.A Justice Department lawyer told the judge the Trump administration provided a sufficient explanation for the revocation of the press passes in letters sent to the news outlets on Tuesday. But the judge signaled skepticism of that argument, noting that the letters were sent after the revocation occurred and the lawsuit was filed.In a legal filing on Tuesday, the Justice Department argued that access to the White House is a privilege, not an entitlement, and that the president has the authority to suspend access by news organizations.A coalition of press freedom groups and dozens of news organizations filed a legal brief on Wednesday supporting the three news outlets. They asserted that “stripping journalists and news outlets of their rights because of perceived editorial viewpoint violates decades of Supreme Court jurisprudence.”The brief was signed by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, Reuters, the Washington Post and Fox News, among others.
>>1538736>The judge rejected the government’s assertion that the ban was motivated by national security concernsSo either (check one):[ ] You are forced to allow criticism of your adminifrustration by the press, certainly acknowledge without complaint that they are correct about what they say about you, and give them back their White House credentials[ ] By refusing the press back in the White House, you admit that the press and that federal judge are right about youChoose wisely, Trump.
>>1538793The "national security concerns" get even more pathetic considering one of the stories they presented as proof of said concern turned out to be from fucking JD Vance himself.
>>1538736>Kelly ordered the Trump administration to immediately return the outlets’ press passes and blocked officials from enforcing the ban for 14 days.How does a judge dictate that the press can enter private property?
>search 'Is the White House private property?'>the result: No, the White House is not private property; it is public federal property belonging to the United States government. The title to the White House and its surrounding 18 acres of grounds is vested in the United States of America. It does not belong to the president personally. The sitting president acts only as a temporary resident and steward during their time in officeWelp, there's 1538799's opinions destroyed.
>REUTERSCouldn't you use a real news site like NYPost?
>>1538736>reuters.comContinue to use real news sites such as Reuters OP, and make the migger NY Post-spamming esl shill seethe.
>>1538806What's odd to me is that this is an opportunity for the President to form a REAL white house press corps, with REAL journalists, but he isn't. Where's FOX? Where's Newsmax? Where's NYPost? OANN? Babylon Bee?
>>1538815>Where's FOX? Where's Newsmax? Where's NYPost? OANN? Babylon Bee?All of them realize if they go along with this, they'll wind up completely banned under a Democrat administration and most of them won't be able to survive.

>ESL shill is trying to slide actual /news/ threads with his NYpost slopIt'sAfraid!.gif
>>1538952This, if anything the Republicans fully support his war on the free press and constitution.
>>1538954Steve Bannon's #1 doctrine in 2016 was "Democrats are irrelevant, the Free Press is the enemy of the people". Trump is still operating by that playbook.
>>1538957And that's always been how conservatives have operated, we just found out paramount's fascists owner didn't even have the money to buy WBs so now Elon is going to foot the bill.So it's clear conservatives will buy up as much media as possible and ban the rest.
A court that cannot enforce rulings is not a court.
>>1538970Can't wait to see the Republican supreme court deal with this when the next administration prosecutes trump and tells them to go fuck themselves over their ruling that trump is a king.
>>1538736Why are news outlets allowed to lie about Trump and the American government? Isn't this slander and libel? Why does the left always get away with shitting out their mouths but the right can't speak the truth without losing their jobs and becoming unemployable for life?
>>1538972Only one lying is trump and his regime.
>>Trans pedo makes a thread
>>1538958>democrats: its not fair they're copying us!!!ya go make another bluesky retards and stop being hypocrites
>>1538975>Conservatives can't create anything so they just use their parasitic wealth to buy out stuffMeanwhile 'free speech' and nazi saluter Elon Musk is trying to shut down the documentary about him that blows the whistle on how he stole the 2024 election for trump
>>1538978>propaganda and hit pieces are fine only when they're not against democrats.ok bigot

>>1538970A president that doesn't enforce the law isn't a president. >>1538972They're not lying about Trump and the American government, Trump and the American government are lying.
>>1538982Claims that the election was stolen are undermining our democracy. You're a modern day january 6er

>>1539026>ourshill anon...
>>1538736How come when I commit a crime I have to go to jail but when the president takes a piss on the constitution he can just plea woopsies and roll it back?
>>1539026>Claims that a violent mob assaulted the capital in a concerted effort to prevent the VP from certifying the election undermine your democracy.If you don't think Jan 6th undermined democracy, it's because you're fucking ESL and you don't know what those words mean. That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard.>>1539000>child rapistwhy does that make you want to suck trump off, but not this person?You should really consider suicide, anon.

>>1539147Every accusation is a confession
>>1538998Whats the relevance of this link? Are you saying a random student on a school bus is antifa?
>>1539026Why didnt trump send in the military?https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/09/politics/jan-6-hearing-takeaways-thursday/index.html>The committee also showed new video from its interview with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley saying Pence was the one who ordered National Guard troops to respond to the violence on January 6
>>1539162The great part of the left's 'anybody can be antifa' rhetoric is that literally anybody can be antifa.
>>1539164you truly don't understand the meaning of the words you post, do you esl shill

>>1539170you aren't american, you're not even on this side of the globe esl shill

>>1539173You guys have forced tranny propaganda into everyone's face for the last decade and now you're mad when people use it to ridicule you lmao
>>1539174The fetish that you can't stop bringing up is being used to riddicule you you fucking witless dipshit. Straight people don't obsess over other people's genitals. If you hate LGBT people so much, why don't you contribute to their suicide rate by killing yourself you stupid fucking faggot?
>>1539174https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/transgender-facebook-content-dominated-right-wing-sources-study-finds-n1234252>the majority of Facebook interactions with those viral posts — over 43 million of 66 million shares, comments and reactions over the span of a year — were on items posted by anti-trans websites like LifeSiteNews, Daily Wire and Daily Caller, according to the report.
>>1539174>doubling down on trannies out of nowhere Every single fucking time.You don’t know what antifa is or means. >>1539164 is pure projection, because MAGA has adopted antifa as yet another scary buzzword to be applied to everyone they don’t like.
>>1539170can you?
>>1538957To be fair, Democrats are irrelevant and the Free Press is an enemy of the people, so its a reasonable expectation. Its true that they eased back off this one in preparation for the midterms but I guarantee there will be some major restructuring in press circles after the midterms pass. The real damage is always done quietly, not in the court of public opinion.
>>1539190god you're esl
i love when esl shill is racist to himself. what a weird faggot

>>1539191this is a japanese website.
>>1539205you are an esl shill
call jg wentworth
>>1539205>This is a Japanese website.And that's why everyone here is speaking Japanese, right?What? This is an international news board and literally everyone who comes here speaks/is expected to speak English? It's fucking dumb to use that as a criticism against people calling out ESL shills? It misses the larger point the person is being called out for speaking broken English while claiming to be a native, not for having bad English on an English speaking board... But that would make you a tone-deaf dumbass!
>>1539191Is God a ESL?
God doesn't exist but 1539346 being esl does. (*Tips Trilby*)
>>1539293What?
