A federal judge has ordered the White House to restore access to news outlets that former President Donald Trump had previously banned. The ruling was issued Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Federal Courthouse in Washington, D.C.
In the decision, the judge directed the White House to reinstate the blocked outlets, a move that follows a lawsuit filed by the media organizations seeking to regain their reporting privileges. The court’s order is the latest development in a series of legal challenges over press access to the executive branch.
While the ruling does not specify which outlets were affected or the precise terms of the restoration, it signals a shift in the administration’s approach to media relations after a period of heightened restrictions.
