Trump’s attempt to ban CNN, Politico, and MS Now from White House to be heard in court – live

A federal court hearing is scheduled to determine if a temporary restraining order against the Trump administration's ban on reporters from CNN, MS Now, and Politico will be extended into a preliminary injunction. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, who previously blocked the ban due to concerns over due process and lack of prior notice, is presiding. While reporters have regained access to the White House complex, they remain excluded from pool duties in the Oval Office and on Air Force One. The administration argues the ban is necessary for national security and decorum, while the news organizations contend it is unconstitutional retaliation for negative coverage.
