A federal judge has ruled that President Trump's ban on journalists from CNN, Politico, and MS Now is likely unconstitutional. The three news outlets sued the administration, arguing the ban violated their First Amendment rights to free speech and a free press, as well as due process rights. They sought and were granted a temporary restraining order to restore their White House access while the legal challenge proceeds. Trump had cited the outlets' reporting as "FICTION and LIES," while Justice Department lawyers attempted to justify the ban on national security grounds.
