GrynbaumMedia reporterHere\u2019s the latest.Reporters for CNN, Politico and MS NOW were allowed to re-enter the White House grounds around noon on Thursday, the latest development in an ongoing standoff between President Trump and the press corps that covers him.Earlier in the day, the Trump administration had continued to bar journalists from those outlets from entering the grounds even after a federal judge ordered the immediate restoration of their access.It was not initially clear if the administration had changed its stance on the judge\u2019s order, or if the journalists were blocked because of confusion among security personnel. Judge Timothy J. Kelly of the U.S. District Court in Washington issued his order restoring access overnight, at around 1 a.m. Eastern time.When the journalists were denied access on Thursday, lawyers for the three outlets requested an immediate hearing on the matter. Judge Kelly ordered the Trump administration to respond by 12:30 p.m.The White House did not respond to a request for comment.The ongoing standoff has generated a bizarre spectacle. President Trump is meeting at the White House with China\u2019s top leader, Xi Jinping, the kind of high-stakes diplomatic summit that would typically be carried live on every news station.Instead, at noon, no major American network was airing footage of the two global leaders.Mr. Trump\u2019s ban on the three outlets had prompted the major networks to suspend the White House television pool, which usually serves as the main source of video footage for presidential events. As of early Thursday afternoon, the TV pool had not resumed.Betsy Klein, a CNN correspondent, said that she tried three times on Thursday morning to enter the White House and was repeatedly turned away. One CNN producer was allowed in. \u201cIt\u2019s an open question right now whether this is a matter of bureaucracy, a clerical error or if the White House, the Trump administration, is in open defiance of a court order,\u201d Ms. Klein said in an on-air interview.Around noon, Ms. Klein was allowed back in. \u201cVery happy to be getting back to work here,\u201d she said on-air.Erik Wemple contributed reporting.Show moreSept. 24, 2026, 12:36 p.m. ET32 minutes agoErik WempleMedia reporterDays before Judge Timothy J. Kelly issued an order early Thursday morning temporarily reversing the ban against the three news organizations, President Trump pledged to appeal any adverse ruling. Yet appeals of such temporary orders, which last only days, are rare and impractical given the short time frame to litigate them. This one expires in 14 days. During that two-week period, Judge Kelly pledged to schedule consideration of a motion for a preliminary injunction, which would block the White House ban against CNN, MS NOW and Politico for a longer period. Given the judge\u2019s skepticism of the White House\u2019s case, as expressed in Thursday morning\u2019s order, it\u2019s unclear how the government could prevail in the next stage of litigation.Sept. 24, 2026, 12:30 p.m. ET38 minutes agoZolan Kanno-YoungsWhite House reporterThe White House allowed a limited number of photojournalists, but not reporters, into the Oval Office for the start of Trump\u2019s meeting with China\u2019s leader, Xi Jinping. The print reporter and photographer pool has continued to operate even as the television pool was sitting out until the administration restored banned outlets\u2019 access into the White House. During the event, Trump made a remark about how the Chinese had the friendliest press corps, according to photographers who were present and shared details with the print pool. Sept. 24, 2026, 12:25 p.m. ET44 minutes agoMichael GrynbaumMedia reporterThe Trump administration just told the federal judge in a filing that the White House operations team was instructed to restore reporters\u2019 access at 7:10 a.m. on Thursday, and that confiscated press passes were made available for reporters to pick up at 9:55 a.m. But reporters from the barred outlets said they were unable to access the White House grounds well into the 11 a.m. hour.Sept. 24, 2026, 12:14 p.m. ET54 minutes agoMichael GrynbaumMedia reporterAs of now, the major TV networks have not yet resumed the White House television pool. The networks had previously indicated that they would not film daily presidential events until the White House provided clear reassurance that CNN would be allowed to once again participate in the pool.Sept. 24, 2026, 12:14 p.m. ET54 minutes agoKatie RobertsonMedia reporterMS NOW aired footage of its reporter Laura Barr\u00f3n-L\u00f3pez, who had tried to get into the White House several times this morning, finally gaining access and being allowed into the grounds.ImageCredit...Mandel Ngan\/Agence France-Presse \u2014 Getty ImagesSept. 24, 2026, 12:11 p.m. ET57 minutes agoMichael GrynbaumMedia reporterDana Bash, the CNN anchor, notes that as Trump was hosting the leader of a communist power, \u201che was, until just a few moments ago, blocking American media and defying a federal judge.\u201dSept. 24, 2026, 12:11 p.m. ET57 minutes agoAdam LiptakChief legal affairs correspondentIn ordering the reinstatement of the press credentials early Thursday morning, Judge Kelly cited a 2009 appeals court decision for a bedrock principle: \u201cthe loss of constitutional freedoms, for even minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury.\u201d He might have added that the Supreme Court said the same thing in 1976, in the specific context of the First Amendment and citing the Pentagon Papers case, in which the justices in 1971 refused to block publication of a secret history of the Vietnam War.Sept. 24, 2026, 12:09 p.m. ET59 minutes agoMichael GrynbaumMedia reporterBetsy Klein, a CNN correspondent, is now broadcasting from the White House grounds. \u201cVery happy to be getting back to work here,\u201d she says on-air.

But it said no U.S. network pool coverage was expected because of the \u201congoing access restrictions imposed by the White House.\u201dSept. 24, 2026, 11:42 a.m. ET1 hour agoErik WempleMedia reporterThe court ordered Trump to restore access for CNN, MS Now and Politico last night.ImageU.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media after returning on Marine One to the White House Wednesday evening. Credit...Salwan Georges for The New York TimesA federal judge on Thursday said that President Trump\u2019s order barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House was likely unconstitutional and ordered the administration to restore access to the three news outlets.Judge Timothy J. Kelly of the U.S. District Court in Washington granted a 14-day restraining order and told the White House to \u201cimmediately return, reinstate, and restore\u201d the press credentials held by employees of the three outlets. His decision came around 1:15 a.m. Eastern.The news organizations were likely to succeed in their claim that the White House had violated their constitutional due process rights by revoking their press credentials without advance notice or an opportunity to respond, Judge Kelly wrote in the order issued in the early hours of Thursday.He also rejected, for now, the administration\u2019s argument that revoking the outlets\u2019 press credentials was necessary to protect national security.\u201cThis is a strong ruling vindicating freedom of the press, due process and the rule of law. We greatly appreciate the court\u2019s swift action,\u201d Theodore J. Boutrous, a lawyer representing the media companies, told CNN.Show moreSept. 24, 2026, 11:40 a.m. ET1 hour agoMichael GrynbaumMedia reporterIt is striking and symbolic that no major U.S. TV network aired live footage of Trump and Xi from the White House on Thursday. A high-stakes summit with a rival superpower would typically pre-empt regular programming. Instead, the networks have declined to provide footage because of the White House\u2019s ongoing ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico.ABC, today\u2019s designated pool network, has a camera crew at the White House ready to go, but the crew is standing down as the administration defies a judge\u2019s order to restore access to the other outlets.ImageCredit...Haiyun Jiang\/The New York TimesSept. 24, 2026, 11:39 a.m. ET1 hour agoMichael GrynbaumMedia reporterThere was little clarity on the ban at the White House grounds on Thursday morning.
