Three media organisations – MS NOW, CNN and Politico – have filed an amended lawsuit seeking full access to the White House after a judge appointed by former President Donald Trump ordered their return following a ban imposed in September.
In September, President Trump barred the three outlets from the White House, citing concerns over coverage. The ban was lifted when a judge, appointed by Trump, issued an order allowing the outlets back into the capital’s press facilities.
The amended lawsuit now requests that the court grant the three media groups unrestricted access to the White House, arguing that the previous restrictions violated their rights to cover the executive branch.
While the case is still pending, the judge’s decision to restore the outlets’ access highlights the ongoing tension between the Trump administration and the press. The lawsuit is part of a broader legal battle over media rights and access to government institutions.
The outcome of the amended filing will determine whether MS NOW, CNN and Politico can resume full coverage of White House events and activities without further restrictions.
