Summary

Judge Timothy Kelly extended a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration's ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico reporters from the White House, saying he would rule by Tuesday on whether to extend it further. An attorney for the outlets argued the ban amounts to "viewpoint discrimination" punishing them for what they say, violating their First Amendment rights.
