Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump Administration’s Ban on CNN, MSNBC, Politico
A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, ordering their White House press credentials be restored.
Binghamton, NY, September 24, 2026 —
A federal judge has issued a temporary order that blocks the Trump administration’s ban on press credentials for representatives of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. The ruling directs that the White House must restore the press credentials for these outlets.
The specific details regarding the identity of the federal judge who issued the order were not provided in the available information. Similarly, the exact date the ban was implemented or the specific circumstances that led to the ban are not detailed in the summary.
The temporary injunction means that journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico will regain access to cover White House events and briefings, at least while further legal proceedings take place. The administration’s decision to revoke credentials had previously barred these news organizations from White House grounds and press conferences.
The outcome of this legal challenge will determine the future access of these specific news outlets to presidential communications and events. The full scope and implications of the judge’s order, including any timeline for a permanent resolution, are pending further judicial review. The names of the specific journalists affected or the duration of the initial ban were not included in the summary.
