Judge temporarily overturns Trump's White House media ban
A judge has ordered the White House to immediately reinstate press access for three news organisations barred from the building last week by US President Donald Trump.
A District of Columbia court issued a temporary restraining order against the ban, meaning CNN, MS NOW and Politico must have their access restored for 14 days.
The three outlets had launched a legal challenge which called the ban unconstitutional.
The Trump administration sought to defend the move in court, accusing the outlets of publishing false information and threatening national security - an argument the court rejected.
Judge Timothy Kelly ruled CNN, Politico and MS NOW were "likely to succeed" in showing the White House had not exercised "adequate due process" in implementing the ban.
