Judge Kelly extends White House access for CNN, MS NOW, Politico pending ruling on media ban
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly extended a temporary order allowing CNN, MS NOW, and Politico access to the White House through Tuesday, Oct. 13, while he considers a longer-term ruling. The judge expressed skepticism about the Justice Department’s national security justification for the ban, noting discrepancies between President Trump’s public statements and the government’s legal arguments. A final decision is expected by Tuesday.
