WASHINGTON – A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to temporarily restore White House access for three news organizations. CNN, MS NOW, and Politico can now cover White House events again, following President Trump's earlier decision to bar them. The ruling dictates that the administration must allow representatives from these outlets to attend press briefings and other scheduled events. President Trump had previously revoked access for these organizations from covering official White House proceedings.
