A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore White House access for CNN, MS Now, and Politico. The order was issued in the early hours of Friday, 25 September 2026, following a lawsuit filed by the outlets.
The ban on the three media organisations was abruptly announced last Friday by President Donald Trump, citing their coverage. This move initiated a legal battle concerning press access.
President Trump has previously criticised media outlets, including CNN, and has also filed lawsuits against other publications such as the Wall Street Journal, the BBC, and CBS over their reporting.
