Despite the judge's ruling, CNN and Amasnav reporters were barred from entering to cover the banquet at the White House

Reporters from two news channels, CNN and Amasnav, say that despite a judge's order to lift the ban on their access to the White House grounds, they were barred from entering to cover the official White House dinner.

The Trump administration announced that this ruling does not mean the release of their actions to cover any event.

Yesterday, a federal judge announced in a ruling that the White House's ban on access to three media outlets, CNN, Amazon and Politico, is probably unconstitutional, and the government must suspend access to these media outlets for the time being.

Last week, Donald Trump cut off the access of these three media outlets to the White House for publishing "fake news". But the White House later accused them of endangering "national security" without providing evidence.

Following the federal judge's order, the journalists of these three media outlets were allowed to re-enter the White House on Thursday morning.
