A federal judge in the United States overturned the ban on three media outlets entering the White House

A federal judge in the United States has temporarily halted Donald Trump's action to ban three news outlets from entering the White House. With this temporary ruling, the Trump administration was ordered to restore access to the White House to reporters from CNN, Amazon.com and Politico. The access of journalists of these media outlets was previously revoked.

Trump said for the first time that he cut off the access of these media outlets to the White House due to the publication of "fake news". But the White House later, without providing evidence, accused the media of risking the "national security" of the United States.

The news channels CNN, Amas Nav and Politico previously considered this ban as "a clear violation of the legal right to publish the press and a form of discrimination".
