Donald Trump: "shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES"

US District Judge Tim Kelly on Thursday temporarily barred the Trump administration from enforcing a September 18 ban that President Donald Trump imposed on White House press credentials for CNN, MS NOW and Politico, ordering the passes returned and pausing enforcement for 14 days while a lawsuit proceeds. The outlets sued in Washington, alleging constitutional and due-process violations. Kelly said the ban probably violated the Constitution and found insufficient factual support for the government's national-security rationale; the Justice Department contended that press access to the White House is discretionary. Trump announced the ban in a social media post that faulted the outlets' reporting, and the judge cited that as evidence against the security explanation. Press freedom groups and dozens of news organizations supported the outlets. The dispute is unfolding before the November 3 midterm elections.
