Neutral Summary
A federal judge is considering whether to extend a temporary order blocking President Trump's ban on journalists from CNN, MS Now, and Politico. During a court hearing, Judge Timothy Kelly questioned the government's justification for the ban, noting a discrepancy between the President's public comments regarding 'bad' or 'fake' news and the Justice Department's legal arguments citing national security and journalistic decorum. The temporary restraining order, which was set to expire, has been extended until Tuesday while the judge prepares a ruling on a preliminary injunction.
