A federal judge has ordered the White House to immediate reinstate access to CNN, MS NOW and Politico journalists, after President Donald Trump summarily banned them last Friday.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly of the D.C. Circuit, a Trump appointee, granted the news orgs’ motion for a temporary restraining order in the lawsuit they filed against Trump and three White House officials, alleging the ban violated the First Amendment. The TRO will remain in effect for 14 days.
