Current state
A federal judge has extended a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds while their First Amendment lawsuit proceeds, finding the ban likely violates the First and Fifth Amendments, though the ruling does not resolve all access problems. The outlets therefore retain access for now. The Justice Department is also investigating whether major television networks violated antitrust law by suspending White House pool cover
