Broadcast news workspaces are seen outside the White House in Washington, DC, on September 23, 2026. A US federal judge is holding a hearing on Wednesday to consider a demand by CNN, MS NOW and Politico to have their White House access restored after their credentials were revoked by President Donald Trump. The three media outlets went to court after Trump on Friday ordered that they be barred as punishment for distributing what he called "fake news" and "fiction and lies."
Judge says he'll make a ruling on Trump's media ban as soon as he can

The hearing on CNN, MS NOW and Politico’s request to restore their journalists’ access to the White House after they were banned by President Donald Trump has ended without a ruling. Judge Timothy Kelly said he would take the arguments under advisement and “try to get an answer as soon as I can.” CNN's Katelyn Polantz has the details.
