Lawyers for CNN, Politico and MS Now are seeking an emergency court hearing after reporters were denied access to the White House, despite a judge having overturned Donald Trump’s media ban.
The legal teams say the White House “repeatedly violated” the court order. Their request follows continued restrictions on access for some reporters, although the supplied report does not specify which journalists were affected or when the denials took place.
The dispute concerns media access to the White House and the enforcement of the judge’s decision overturning the ban. The lawyers’ application seeks urgent consideration by the court over whether the order has been followed.
No further details about the requested hearing, the White House’s response or the judge’s timetable are provided in the supplied material. The latest known position is that the lawyers are pursuing emergency legal action over the alleged breaches.
