Federal Judge Indefinitely Blocks Trump White House Ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico

A federal judge has indefinitely blocked the Trump administration from banning reporters from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House grounds, ruling that the three outlets are likely to prevail on due process and First Amendment claims. The order extends a prior block and remains in place while the outlets' lawsuit over the president's press ban works its way through the legal system.

Separately, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook's lawyer has publicly challenged the objectivity of a White House investigation into allegations that Cook committed mortgage fraud. The letter, seen by Reuters, represents the latest pushback against President Trump's efforts to remove Cook from her position at the Fed.
