'RESTORE ACCESS NOW': Trump's Xi Welcome TORCHED By Court As Federal Judge Blasts POTUS' Media Ban

Donald Trump’s high-profile meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping unfolded as a separate battle over White House press access reached a major legal turning point. A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico, ordering the White House to restore their access. The three outlets had sued after their reporters’ entry badges were disabled following Trump’s accusations of “fake news.” U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said the outlets had met the legal threshold for a temporary restraining order and were likely to succeed in showing their press passes were revoked without due process. The Trump administration had cited several reporting incidents involving alleged national security concerns, while Vice President JD Vance defended the decision as a withdrawal of “special access,” not a ban on reporting.
