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 ban on reporters from CNN, MS Now, and Politico at the White House will be extended through a preliminary injunction. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly previously issued a temporary restraining order blocking the ban, citing potential due process violations. While journalists regained general complex access, the Trump administration has continued to exclude these outlets from 'pool' duties, including access to Air Force One and the Oval Office. The administration defends the ban as a matter of national security and professional decorum, while the media outlets argue it is unconstitutional retaliation for critical coverage.
