CNN, Politico and MS NOW are not allowed into the White House even after the court decision

U.S. Secret Service officers guarding the White House prevented journalists from entering Politico, CNN and MS Now. This happened after a court in Washington ordered President Donald Trump to restore access to the White House for journalists. This is reported by Politico, as well as other American media.

As already reported by Kommersant, on September 18, the US president banned journalists from these publications from accessing his residence, accusing them of publishing fakes. On September 21, the media challenged the decision in court, saying it violated the First Amendment to the US Constitution on freedom of speech and the press.

Other U.S. media outlets, including ABC, Fox News, CBS, NBC, The New York Times and The Washington Post, boycotted the president and refused to cover events involving the president. Today it became known that the federal court satisfied the demands of the media to return their journalists passes for the duration of consideration of the lawsuit against the administration.

White House officials have not commented on the refusal to comply with the court's decision. Lawyers representing the interests of the media have already asked the court to immediately convene a hearing in connection with “non-compliance” with the previous court decision.
