CNN, Politico, and MS Now Restore White House Access

Reporters from three U.S. media outlets — CNN, Politico and MS Now — have been restored access to the White House, the administration said. Earlier, a court in Washington recognized unconstitutional the decision of US President Donald Trump to suspend journalists and decided to lift the restrictions. The US Secret Service refused to allow journalists into the White House.

The presidential administration reported that the press service of the White House left the passes of journalists at the checkpoint at the entrance so that the press could pick them up. Activated press passes were available at the press entrance as soon as they were handed over. This was stated by the head of the White House press team Miki Stopperich, reports NBC News.

On September 18, Trump banned CNN, Politico and MS Now from the White House. He accused them of publishing fakes about the work of the US authorities. The media challenged the decision in court, pointing out that the decision of the American leader violates the First Amendment to the US Constitution on freedom of speech and the press. Other media boycotted Donald Trump, refusing to broadcast his speeches or showing them without sound.
