President Donald Trump’s seemingly impulsive executive decisions, a federal court on Wednesday (September 23) night suspended a ban imposed by the Republican on three media outlets . Trump banned CNN, MS-NOW , and Politico from the White House, officials of the administration said on Thursday (September 24) that the process of reinstating the outlets was underway. with claims of Secret Service agents confiscating their badges, the AP reported that the three media groups were back on the White House grounds by Thursday (September 24) afternoon While the representatives of the outlets were reportedly barred from entering the White House on Thursday morning.

After the outlets moved a federal court on Monday against the ban, the administration filed detailed letters sent to each of the media groups that noted “a non-exhaustive list of reporting incidents, including those that have threatened national security and spread falsehoods”. It cited a CNN reporting on “top-secret construction details related to the East Wing bunker”, MS-NOW’s story on an “alleged leak investigation”, and a Politico report on “a document detailing funding for the White House ballroom containing intricate descriptions of how the Secret Service would invest in security improvements”. Trump in 201 during his first stint at the White House, found that the revocation of credentials of the banned outlets’ journalists “likely violates their constitutional due process rights”. He called the objectionable reporting by the media groups which were highlighted by the White House in its letters “so vague that it hardly does the trick” . He also raised doubts over the invocation of national security by the administration, saying that the President initially attributed the decision against the outlets to “negative reporting” and the security angle was introduced later. “Nothing in the record… suggests that the revocation of plaintiffs’ hard passes [credentials] was motivated by national security concerns”, the judge said. “ Certainly, that is not what President Trump said when he announced that he was ‘banning’ plaintiffs from the White House; instead, he focused on the alleged lack of truthfulness and negativity of plaintiffs’ reporting”, he noted.
