Quick Summary

CNN, MSNOW, and Politico have filed a motion with the court asking for a permanent order that would require the White House to allow them access to cover President Donald Trump in the Oval Office and on Air Force One. The news outlets claim that despite a previous judge’s order, the administration continues to deny them entry into the press pool, which they argue is retaliatory and violates their rights as established by Judge Timothy Kelly's earlier rulings.

Story summary

CNN, MSNOW, and Politico have filed a motion with a court to make their access order against the White House permanent, arguing that they are being denied entry into the rotating press "pool" to cover President Donald Trump in the Oval Office and on Air Force One. This denial is alleged to be retaliation for reports the president dislikes, violating U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly’s previous orders. The news outlets claim this action infringes upon their free speech rights by continuing to restrict their access despite a judge's ruling.
