Court to Hear CNN's Lawsuit Against Trump's Press Ban
- The U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly will hear arguments on whether to impose a preliminary injunction against Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico.
- The judge previously issued a temporary restraining order that required the White House to restore access to the reporters, set to expire soon.
- Lawyers for the news outlets argue the ban violates due process and First Amendment rights, claiming it retaliates against them for negative coverage.
