White House press-access fight escalates with threats against Politico and talk of relocating press corps
Judge Kelly extended an injunction finding likely First and Fifth Amendment violations, viewpoint discrimination, retaliation, and inadequate due process in restrictions on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. White House counsel demanded Politico retract or correct three stories within 48 hours; Trump has discussed moving the press corps but made no decision. Trump’s attack on Reuters reporter Jacob Bogage adds to press-hostility coverage, while a separate public-access suit remains unresolved.
