Federal Judge Extends Block on Trump’s White House Ban of Politico, CNN and MSNOW

The Hill reported:

A federal judge on Thursday briefly extended an order lifting a ban implemented by the White House last month on three new outlets President Trump said should not be allowed to cover him over what he has called “fake news” that puts national security in danger.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, is weighing whether to issue a longer-lasting injunction after he handed down a 14-day temporary restraining order last month that required the administration to immediately restore press credentials for reporters from CNN, Politico and MS NOW.

That order was set to expire at 11:59 p.m. Thursday but Kelly said at the start of the hearing that it would be in effect for “another two business days.”
