White House to appeal ruling restoring CNN, MS NOW and Politico access

A White House official confirmed Wednesday that the administration will appeal Judge Timothy Kelly's preliminary injunction, which requires the White House to keep granting CNN, MS NOW and Politico journalists press credentials while their lawsuit proceeds. Kelly found the September 18 revocation likely violated the outlets' First and Fifth Amendment rights. The official called the ruling misguided and said the outlets could report from outside. Attorney Theodore Boutrous Jr. welcomed the ruling.
