Judge says Trump press ban likely violates First Amendment

A federal judge ruled that President Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House access likely violates the First Amendment, extending his order requiring the administration to restore the outlets' access while the lawsuit proceeds. Judge Tim Kelly, a Trump appointee, wrote that Trump's own public comments show the ban was retaliation for coverage the president dislikes, and found no evidence supporting the Justice Department's national security rationale. The Justice Department has filed an appeal.
