A federal judge temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s ban of three news outlets from the White House. He said CNN, MS NOW and Politico must have their access restored. But reporters from all three outlets said they were still blocked early Thursday, a few hours after the order. The news outlets soon asked in a new court filing for an immediate hearing to address their continued ban from White House grounds. The back-and-forth was the latest in an extraordinary showdown between Trump and media outlets whose coverage he dislikes. Trump announced he was banning the outlets Friday, assailing what he called “fake news.” The outlets argued they were singled out over the content of their coverage.
