- On Tuesday night, Judge Timothy Kelly indefinitely restored White House access for MS NOW, CNN and Politico.
- Kelly found the ban likely violated the Fifth Amendment’s due-process protections and the First Amendment through retaliation and viewpoint discrimination.
- He also rejected the administration’s national-security argument, citing a lack of evidence that security concerns justified the ban.
- The White House announced an appeal Wednesday, while the Justice Department declined to comment.
"The record is clear that President Trump made the decision at issue," Kelly wrote. "And his announcement of the ban and later remarks explaining the reason for it make this a straightforward conclusion: President Trump likely banned Plaintiffs from the White House because he believes that their reporting is generally inaccurate and biased against him."— U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, explaining in his ruling that Trump likely banned the plaintiffs because he believed their reporting was generally inaccurate and biased against him.
