00:02We begin with a federal judge blocking President Trump's ban on three news outlets from the White
00:07House and finding the president likely violated their constitutional rights.
00:12The ruling came late Tuesday from a judge Trump himself appointed.
00:16It means reporters from CNN, MSNOW, and Politico can keep accessing the White House grounds while
00:22their lawsuit moves forward. The administration argues the outlets violated professional standards
00:27and raised national security concerns. But the news organizations say Trump targeted them
00:32because he didn't like their coverage. And U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly says the ban
00:37likely violated both their First Amendment and due process rights. In his ruling, Kelly wrote,
00:43It is likely that President Trump's revocation of plaintiffs' hard passes is the sort of action
00:49that would deter a reasonable reporter or news organization from publishing stories to which
00:54he objects. Last month on True Social, Trump said his administration would appeal any ruling
00:59against the ban.
